About Me

My name is Jake, and I am an economics researcher at Iowa State University. I completed my Ph.D. in Economics at ISU in August 2023 and am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher with ISU's Center for Agricultural and Rural Development.

I am interested in innovation and technology adoption and how these processes shape the economy, the environment, and production. My research on these topics is informed by industrial organization, agricultural and environmental economics, and applied microeconomics.
