Producer behavior and design of policies related to downstream water pollution issues,. The market potential and optimal regulatory response to food nanotechnology,. The economics of output and input subsidies and taxes in the presence of agent heterogeneity. The development of the new policy analysis framework has now been completed and various adaptations have been used to analyze important policy issues like: Together, they can improve our understanding of the effects of different policies on the interest groups involved. The two key characteristics/ differentiating attributes of our research (i.e., the explicit consideration of agent heterogeneity and use of behavioral and experimental economics in policy analysis) are closely connected, as (a) our heterogeneity framework provides a theoretical grounding to our economic experiments, while, (b) by eliciting and registering the attitudes, motivations, and unique decision characteristics of individuals in diverse groups, the behavioral and experimental economics methods are uniquely equipped to capture the nature and magnitude of the relevant agent heterogeneity. This new policy analysis framework explicitly accounts for heterogeneity in consumer preferences or/and incomes heterogeneous producers (producers differing in education, experience, motivations, location, management skills, technology adopted etc.) imperfectly competitive input suppliers, processors or/and retailers and links and interactions between the agri-food supply channels of interest (i.e., markets of the regulated product and its relevant substitutes and complement products and services).Īnother key component of CAFIO-PRG research is the extensive utilization of behavioral and experimental economic methods in policy analysis and policy design. CAFIO-PRG is led by the Project Director, Professor Konstantinos Giannakas, and its main focus has been on the development of a novel, empirically relevant, integrated, multi-market framework of policy analysis.
