🔔 Update Alert! I've just refreshed my GitHub repository, US Farm Safety Net Lab 🌾📊, adding new research outputs, analytical tools, and resources focused on U.S. agricultural safety net programs, including FCIP, PLC, and ARC. Explore here 👉 https://t.co/4SvngPEWH8 🚜🇺🇸

Our findings reveal persistent wage and benefit inequalities in Ghana, a reminder that the fight for true equity continues

Her leadership continues to inspire research in this area. I’m proud to share our new paper with Festus Attah: “Gender Gaps in Wages and Fringe Benefits: Insights from a Ghanaian Perspective” (Journal of International Development)

Ghana’s path toward gender equality was profoundly shaped by First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, whose leadership at the 1995 Beijing Conference marked a defining moment in women’s empowerment. Her passing on 10/23/2025, leaves a lasting legacy of courage and advocacy.💚

Just got the best pre-game warm-up news ever: my paper was accepted! 🎉 So no matter what happens in the Super Bowl LIX, I'm on cloud nine. If my favorite team pulls off a win too, I might just start believing I'm a good luck charm! 😄 A summary of the paper in the coming weeks!

🎉 New at @JournalRiskIns "Utilizing Large-Scale Insurance Data Sets to Calibrate Sub-County Crop Yields" with @dylanturner25 & @DrJisangYu https://t.co/o5k3rLzRfp We've calibrated yields to enhance ag risk & related works. Stay tuned for more research using these yields!

You might find the replications in this repo useful if you are running regression involving crop insurance in the US and are concerned about endogeneity.

Exciting update! My work with @TackJesse & @DrJisangYu has surpassed 1,000 views! 🎉 This milestone highlights Study 2 from my PhD from @kstateagecon. Catch up with this thread 👉 https://t.co/sSz34SZ1Ca Dive into full paper here: https://t.co/CHjApcepgo #ViewsMilestone

From here on out, 🎶 the sky is the limit. Now, the stars is where we're livin'. It's the vibe when we're in it. It'll blow your mind. It's so perfect, pеrfect, perfect. A hundrеd percent! 🎶 This lyrics from 🧌 highlights my vibe lately. YOLO!!!

🚜 Exciting news! Just released a report on #AdHocAssistance programs by the USDA, co-authored with Katherine Baldwin & @dylanturner25. From 2017-22, we've tracked the evolution, impact, & budget trends of these programs for farmers. 🌾📊#AgriPolicy https://t.co/jiTWvaohyy

6/6 📝 For a detailed analysis of our findings and their broader implications for the FCIP and agricultural insurance markets, please visit the full paper:

5/ 📊Simulating PP indemnities as production losses suggests potential improvements in loss ratios. However, this approach may lead to higher premiums, which could influence the demand for crop insurance—highlighting the need for a balanced approach. #FinancialModeling

4/ 🔍 The findings indicate that while overall loss ratios remain stable, regions with a heavy reliance on PP coverage (exceeding 20% of total indemnities) experience notable increases in loss ratios. This suggests a more complex financial impact of PP than previously understood.

3/ 💡Utilizing a dataset of 77,697 county-level observations from the @usdaRMA, our study examines the influence of prevalent PP claims on actuarial outcomes over the past decade. #DataScience #RiskManagement

2/ 🚜Within the FCIP, prevented planting (PP) plays a crucial role in managing pre-planting costs when adverse conditions prevent crops from being planted. Since PP losses are not considered production losses, it raises questions about the impact on actuarial soundness. 🌦️
