Research Summary

Dr. Richardson has research and graduate teaching responsibilities in public policy and risk analysis. His research has gained national recognition by emphasizing quantitative, risk-based policy analyses through the use of farm-level simulation models. Evaluating farm-level impacts of agricultural and tax policies on crop, livestock, and dairy farms is Richardson’s specialty. As new policies are considered, their consequences are evaluated and results are provided to policymakers, producers, producer groups, and policy analysts. More recently his research has expanded to include risk-based economic feasibility of alternative renewable energy feedstocks and production systems.
