Agricultural and Resource Economics

My research program focuses on farm-level decision making, especially in the context of farm response to environmental policy and new technology or production practices. I approach this topic in two ways: (1) by constructing and simulating theoretical models to examine future, proposed, or hypothetical policy changes, and (2) by using structural microeconometrics to examine farm response to external changes.
