Prospective students

I am currently recruiting two M.Sc. students and one Ph.D. student to work with me on three separate projects on producer behavior and technology adoption starting in Fall 2025. I  like to work with students passionate about their work who are dedicated to producing high-quality research. Interested students should have a background and interest in economics.

Thank you for your interest!
