The Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA) now has a blog. This morning, the blog launched a “Member Profiles” series featuring a profile of yours truly:

If so, are those the same as the households who benefit from rising food prices? What is the relationship between rising food prices, food price volatility, and political instability?”
