Gabriela Perez Quesada

Assistant Professor | Agricultural and Resource Economics

Specialization: Environmental and resource economics, production economics and applied econometrics.

Overview

My research focuses on the interactions between agricultural production, natural resources, and the environment. I am particularly interested in better understanding how water scarcity and climate change impact agricultural production, and how economic agents and institutions of the agricultural sector adapt to them. I am also interested in the role of policy mechanisms in agricultural producer decision making, and the implementation of behavioral interventions and collective action efforts to conserve natural resources.
