I am a third-year PhD student at the Department of Agricultural Economics & Rural Sociology,Auburn University, under the supervision of Prof. Joshua Duke.

I study how people and firms respond to environmental and agricultural policies. I studied how the CRP program impacts agribusiness behaviors, and how people respond to land value taxation under spatial interdependencies. I am currently working on how social affinity attributes affect people’s willingness to pay for food products. I am also currently working on how farmers’ input-use behavior responds to social comparisons. My research experience can be accessed at Research page.
