Welcome!

I am Srabashi Ray, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the GLASS (Global to Local Analysis of System Sustainability) and GTAP (Global Trade Analysis Project) networks of researchers at the Department of Agricultural Economics, Purdue University. I completed my PhD in Applied Economics from the Department of Applied Economics, Oregon State University. 

My research and teaching include environmental and resource economics, development economics, microeconomics, econometrics and Integrated Assessment Modelling.

Research

I am an environmental economist working towards the sustainable transformation of our food systems. I apply economic theory and innovative modeling techniques, grounded in the Global-Local-Global (GLG) approach. By leveraging high-resolution spatial datasets and integrated models of coupled human-natural systems, my research aims to enhance our understanding of market-mediated impacts of local policies at a global scale as well as the impacts of global stressors at a local level. My work thus far has focused on evaluating policy interventions to limit global emissions, the implications of the dual challenges of agricultural labor and resource scarcity, and the joint adoption of agricultural technologies to alleviate food security in developing countries. I have published in AEPP and ERL recently.  Another area of my research focuses on using econometric methodologies to evaluate the impact of agricultural technologies on multi-dimensional indicators of farm household well-being in developing countries.

Teaching

I have also taught several undergraduate and graduate courses in Microeconomics, Econometrics, Environmental Economics, and the SIMPLE model in-person, virtually, and hybrid formats at Purdue University and Oregon State University. 

Prior Relevant Experience

Prior to pursuing my doctoral education, I worked with the International Center for Maize and Wheat Improvement Research(CIMMYT) in New Delhi on the Socio-Economic Evaluation team under the Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food Security (CCAFS) project.
