The Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics (AEDE) is excited to welcome our newest faculty member, Assistant Professor Jared Grant. Grant received his PhD in Agricultural and Applied Economics, from the University of Georgia. Grant’s research interests include food accessibility, food security, economics of trust, and behavioral economics.
His current work includes creating a variation of the Trust Game that implements a Bayesian game theoretic model that imbeds residents’ trust in government and store operators’ decisions to open and maintain grocery stores in a low income and low food access area.
