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

In my research, I use economic theory to address challenges in environmental sustainability within agricultural systems and food security in the face of growing population and income globally. I employ a combination of econometric methods as well as modelling techniques that harness geo-spatial data for sustainability solutions.

A focus of my research is to understand the unintended consequences of policy alternatives using a Global-Local-Global approach that models economic feedback effects of local interventions at the global scale as well as impacts of global shocks at a local level. I have published in AEPP and ERL recently.  Another area of my research focuses on using econometric mythologies 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 in New Delhi on the Socio-Economic Evaluation team under the Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food Security project.
