In the Spring of 2022,  I and colleagues from University of Missouri studied the farm-level impacts of the 2019 Missouri River floods. The goal of this project was threefold. First, to assess the operational and financial setbacks farmers sustained due to these floods. Second, to examine farmers' beliefs as to what created these flooding conditions. Third, to examine farmers' willingness to pay monetarilly to avoid or reduce flood risks. To achieve these objectives, approximately 700 Missouri farmers living or operating near the Missouri River were surveyed.

In the spring of 2018, my colleague Nicholas Kalaitzandonakes and I studied farmers' willingness to adopt Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for agricultural applications. The goal of this project was to report the current and expected adoption of UAVs and examine the factors that shape adoption. In order to achieve these goals, we collected farm-level data in Missouri.

In 2014, I and colleagues from Michigan State University and University of Wisconsin studied land use decisions governing cellulosic biomass on specific land types in the Northern Tier of the Great Lakes. The goal of this project was twofold. First to assess the quantity of land that is available for energy biomass in the Northern Tier of the Great Lakes, and second, to examine how does that availability vary by land type – with specific attention to noncrop marginal land where expansion of bioenergy crops would have minimal effect on food and wood markets and on the level of carbon debt. To achieve these objectives, we collected landowner-level data in the Northern Tier of Michigan and Wisconsin.

I spent most of the second half of 2007 in Portugal working on the economics of coexistence regulations between GM and non-GM maize. The goal of this project was twofold. First, to assess the impact of coexistence regulations on maize farmers' willingness to adopt GM corn, and second, to measure and compare the economic performance of farmers that plant GM and non-GM maize. To achieve these objectives, I collected farm-level data in Central and South Portugal.

In the summer of 2010, my colleague Ioannis Skevas and I studied farmers' willingness to adopt genetically modified (GM) maize in a country that strongly opposes GM crops. The goal of this project was to determine whether the national cultivation ban was in line with the majority view of farmers. In order to study farmers' willingness to adopt GM corn, we collected farm-level data in Northeastern Greece.
