Research interests

Quantitative analysis (econometrics, machine learning, simulations, and experiments)

Study example

Our laboratory specializes in economic analysis using empirical methods. While most students are encouraged to use econometric techniques, depending on your research interests, you can also explore machine learning, experimental methods (e.g, choic experiments, RCT, or classroom experiments), or simulation methods (e.g., CGE models).

The scope of our research is broad. Past topics include climate change, organic farming, crop quality (grading), land fragmentation, and agricultural policy (e.g., decoupled payments, free trade agreements, and conservation auctions). Students are encouraged to choose research topics based on their own interests.

We do not have specific target countries or regions for research. You are free to study any country or region of your choice. However, the selection of a study area is often influenced by data availability. To make a strong start on your thesis, it is crucial to identify a suitable dataset as early as possible.

If you are passionate about agricultural economics, empirical methodology, and have a strong ambition to publish in top agricultural economics journals, please feel free to contact us.
