My research focuses on environmental economics and agricultural economics, exploring the intersections of environmental quality degradation, agricultural practices, and non-market valuation. By combining theoretical modeling, empirical analysis, and interdisciplinary collaboration, I tackle critical environmental challenges, particularly water pollution and climate change. My research aims to provide evidence-based recommendations that can guide the development of effective and sustainable policies.
