Farm household economics
My research within the area of farm household economics ranges from development of static and dynamic applied and theoretical models to analyses of a broad range of issues such as identifying impacts of access to new technologies, varying access to markets, implications of imperfect markets, assessing impacts of specific policies such as subsidies and taxes, behavioural responses to and impacts of shocks, risk, and safety nets, exploration of alternative policy instruments to enhance more sustainable land management and to reduce poverty and enhance food security.
