Research area

Trained as an economist, my focus is on farmers' risk exposure and decision making under risk, in terms of risk management, plant protection and the use of pesticides. I am particularly interested in the interaction of agricultural and environmental policies, and the implementation of sustainable agricultural practices in Europe. My aim is to provide evidence for policymakers to develop agricultural policies that align policy goals with farmers' settings. This includes farmers' incentives for adoption of alternative practices and technologies, barriers for adoption, and risk exposure.
