Welcome to my webpage!
I'm Falin Sun, a Ph.D. student in Applied Economics at Auburn University. I'm currently working as a research and teaching assistant in the Department of Agricultural Economics & Rural Sociology under the supervision of Dr. Wenying Li.
My research spans both the consumption and production sides of the agri-food system. On the consumption side, I focus on estimating food demand and understanding how financial tools interact with household consumption decisions. On the production side, I study the determinants of a more sustainable agri-food system, including environmental regulation, firm behavior in food processing, and farmers' investment decisions such as irrigation adoption. My work aims to generate novel insights that inform evidence-based food and agricultural policy.
