Research Interests:
As an applied agricultural economist, my interests lie primarily in analyzing real-world data to determine ways that individual producers and groups can add value to their market offerings and organizations. Past projects include studies of cooperative governance, distributional effects of generic promotion, welfare impacts of marketing order programs, several studies of consumer demand for value-added food products, a variety of cooperative case studies, and agribusiness feasibility studies. Selected current projects include an investigation into spillover effects of generic promotion on differentiated products, consumer demand for specialty produce, and use of cooperative to coordinate marketing efforts of small and medium-size fresh and specialty produce growers.
