My research interests are in the area of environmental, natural resource, and agricultural economics.  My research explores the pattern and drivers of land use and land cover dynamics, the ecological impacts of changing climates and landscapes, and the implication of these changes for ecosystem services. My previous research has examined drivers of land use change and land use conversion decision in Prairie Pothole Region in the United States, spatial analysis, spatial econometrics, survey design and implementation, non-market valuation, policy decision on farmland production and economics, transition of assets and management of next-generation South Dakota Producers, renewable and non-renewable resource analysis and management of Bangladesh, economics growth dynamics in United States and Bangladesh, investigation of the determinants of foreign exchange reserve and inflation, growth, poverty, inequality and economic development analysis in the less developed countries.

 

In addition, much of my previous research was interdisciplinary, and has afforded me to opportunity to collaborate with applied economists, climatologist, geospatial scientist, ecologists from South Dakota State University, North Dakota State University, Michigan State University, Iowa State University and University of Wisconsin, Milwaukie with varying complementary backgrounds and skill sets
