Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lawson Connor's research focuses on agricultural economics, with a particular emphasis on crop insurance, soil health practices, and the economic drivers influencing farmer decisions. His work investigates the participation rates in crop insurance programs and their asymmetric effects on crop yield risk, specifically for corn and soybean production in the U.S.

Connor has also examined the role of economic and policy factors in promoting climate-smart soil health practices. His publications explore the actuarial implications of prevented planting coverage and the impact of crop insurance on agricultural loan delinquencies. He has collaborated with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and Arkansas State University on these topics. Connor's scholarly output includes 31 publications, with an h-index of 5 and 149 total citations.
