Research Summary
My research focuses on how agriculture markets are organized to add value and manage risk, with implications for market performance and policy.
My research is interdisciplinary by nature, drawing from economics, marketing, and decision sciences to understand the organization of marketing channels (i.e., transactions, contracts, and cooperatives) for adding value and managing risk.
