Biography

Iordanis Parikoglou is a postdoctoral researcher in the Agricultural Economics Policy Group at ETH Zurich. His research focuses on how farms can maintain resilience while remaining economically viable and environmentally sustainable in the face of increasing climatic volatility. He addresses these challenges by estimating microeconomic production models using Bayesian and frequentist approaches to analyze farm-level data. His work includes examining how farmers allocate resources and how these decisions shape economic performance and environmental sustainability. His current research explores the economic implications of biodiversity protection, disentangling the simultaneous economic and environmental effects of weather events. Through his work, he aims to provide insights that align farm profitability with environmental sustainability, relevant for both researchers and policymakers.
