At the recently held Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA) Awards ceremony in Washington D.C., Yu Na Lee, one of our new faculty members, was recognized with an Honorable Mention in the AAEA Outstanding Dissertation Award category.
The Canadian Agricultural Economics Society hosted its awards ceremony at their annual meeting in Vancouver on July 28th, 2018. These awards recognize research excellence in agricultural economics and related fields. A number of people from FARE were recognized for the quality of their research. This includes:
Dr. Larry Martin, a past professor in the University of Guelph’s Department of Agricultural Economics and Business (now the Department of Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics) has been named a Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame 2018 inductee.
Dr. Martin spent 18 years at the University of Guelph, with four of those years as department chair.
The Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) announced results of their 2018 Insight Grant competition. The department is thrilled to say that FARE faculty member Brady Deaton is a receipt of support through this competition. Brady will lead an interdisciplinary team that explores water issues on First Nations.
On Thursday, May 31st, 2:30-4:00 pm, Room 101 MCLN. Dr. Chris O'Donnell, Professor of Econometrics at the University of Queensland will present "Practical Considerations in the Analysis of Managerial Performance".
“in connection with the exaggerated claims that used to be made in economics for the power of deduction and a priori reasoning – by classical writers, by Carl Menger, by the 1932 Lionel Robbins . . . ., by disciples of Frank Knight, by Ludwig von Mises – I tremble for the reputation of my subject. Fortunately, we have left that behind us”.
Paul Samuelson, quoted by Mark Blaug (1992) The Methodology of Economics: or how economists explain” pp. 81-82.
On Monday April 9, from 6:30-8 pm, FARE faculty member Brady Deaton, will participate in a food security town hall meeting hosted by Guelph MP Lloyd Longfield. The town hall will be held at the Italian Canadian Club, 135 Ferguson Street, Guelph.
