Jovin Lasway

I am a second-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Applied Economics at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA.  Also, I am a Jean Kinsey; Mary A., and Robert B. Litterman Fellow. Prior to starting at the Applied Economics Graduate Program, I was a Researcher in the Impact Evaluation Lab at the Economic and Social Research Foundation (ESRF) and I continue to be associated with it.

My primary research fields are agricultural economics and environmental economics with a special focus on micro-econometrics and high-resolution satellite imagery to understand agricultural inputs price shocks and deforestation in developing countries. Also, my secondary research field is education economics focusing on teaching quality in the United States.
