Welcome

I am an associate professor of agricultural and applied economics in the Davis College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources at Texas Tech University.

My primary field of research is development economics, with an emphasis on the role of government. As such, my work is multidisciplinary in nature and frequently crosses field specific boundaries.  I seek to thoroughly answer unexplored questions in the realm of development economics as an applied economist.
