Serkan Aglasan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ. He received his M.S. in Economics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and his Ph.D. in Economics from North Carolina State University. Dr. Aglasan's scholarly work broadly encompasses agricultural economics (production, policy), climate change, risk analysis and management, crop insurance, applied econometrics, and price analysis. In particular, most of my research over the past five years has focused on climate change mitigation and adoption efforts, crop insurance and the Farm Bill, the economic assessment and impacts of transgenic crops (i.e., Bt corn), agri-environmental policies, spatial and vertical market integration in the U.S. domestic and international commodity markets, the effects of soil health management and farm management practices (e.g., crop rotation, planting density, pest management) on climate resilience, yield, yield risk, agricultural land value, farm costs, agricultural sustainability, and environmental quality.
