Computational models
for policy analysis
My research combines agricultural economics, computer science, and political economy. I study how policies affect economic and environmental outcomes, and how beliefs, interests, and institutions shape policy choices.

I develop computational models to analyse policy impacts and political decision-making. I use Bayesian methods, equilibrium models, and social network analysis in research on agricultural and food-system transformation, climate policy, and participatory policy processes.

- Policy analysis under uncertainty Bayesian estimation, model averaging, and metamodels.
- Agriculture, climate & food systems Economy-wide assessment of policy and technological change.
