OverviewAI-generated summary
Jada M. Thompson, an Associate Professor in Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, leads a research group focusing on economic aspects of agricultural systems and supply chains. Her work includes investigating factors influencing investment decisions, such as the discounted cash flow valuation of conventional and cage-free production systems. Thompson also examines the dynamics of food supply chains, including the impacts of disease outbreaks like Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) on market prices, and analyzes consumer perceptions, such as public acceptance of beef carbon tax earmarks.
Her research portfolio extends to niche agricultural markets, including the analysis of factors affecting online auction prices for thoroughbreds transitioning to non-racing careers. Thompson has also contributed to studies on optimizing agronomic practices, such as determining optimal nitrogen application rates on switchgrass for producers and biorefineries. Her broader academic interests are reflected in publications addressing issues like predatory economics journals and the geopolitical influences on trade, such as whiskey tariffs in the context of Brexit and trade wars.
Thompson is a Co-Principal Investigator on an NSF Convergence Accelerator Track J Phase 2 grant titled "Cultivate IQ - Empowering Regional Food Systems," which received $4,998,818 in funding. This project aims to leverage regional food systems. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 9, with 56 total publications and 507 total citations. She collaborates with researchers including J. Mitchell, Trenton L. Roberts, Gerson Laerson Drescher, and Michael P. Popp.
