Biography
Fissha Asmare is a research fellow at Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC). His research broadly focuses on behavioural environmental economics and agricultural economics. He explores the impact of climate change, climate change adaptation and various policy changes on production and environmental efficiency. By exploiting experimental and survey methods he also delves into the application of behavioural economics principles in resource use efficiency (E.g., energy & water) analysis and sustainable agricultural technology adoption behaviour in the agriculture sector.
Research interests
- Climate change, adaptation, digital innovations and agricultural productivity
-Production and environmental efficiency
-Resource use efficiency analysis (E.g., energy) through the application of behavioral economics principles using lab, field, and discerete choice experiments
