My research and teaching programs focus on applied production economics, with special emphasis on the economics of soil health management practices (e.g., cover crops and no-till system), agricultural policies related to risk management, technology adoption, and dynamic decision-making. A key aspect of my research is the sound application of econometric methods, risk theory, and dynamic optimization modeling to address important policy-relevant problems in sustainable agricultural production and risk management. The objectives of my research are to provide information and identify policies that can improve both economic profits and long-term environmental sustainability. My research work in these areas has given me the opportunity to work successfully with interdisciplinary teams. This research also strengthens my teaching program in fundamental economic theory for the global food and fiber system, decision analysis, and risk management.
