Research

The general fields in which I conduct research are production economics, managerial economics and economic applications of mathematical programming. Much of the research has emphasized technology choices and risk analysis. Recent projects have focused on energy and environmental dimensions of agricultural production, including those related to biofuel feedstock production and water quality. The application of mathematical programming to economic problems at both the firm and sector levels is featured in some of my research.
