Jiawen Liu

I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Agriculture, Food, and Resource Economics (dual major in Economics) at Michigan State University. 

My research combines econometrics and network analysis to examine how shocks like natural disasters and policy changes affect the resilience of trade networks, market stability, and the welfare of farmers and households.

I have taught and supported a range of undergraduate and graduate economics courses. I aim to make economics tangible and relevant for students by connecting theory to real-world data, helping them see themselves as problem-solvers in a complex global system.
