October 2026: Research Seminar series opens for the winter term 2026/27 with a presentation by Prof. Vivian Wei Huan
On October 27, 2026, the Department of Agricultural Policy and Market Research kicked off our weekly Research Seminar for the Winter Semester 2026/27!
We welcomed Prof. Vivian Wei Huang from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Uppsala, who presented her work entitled "Are Environmental Efficiencies of Swedish Agriculture More Transient or More Persistent? Heterogeneity and Determinants.” The study estimates Swedish agriculture's environmental efficiency over 15 years using the Generalised True Random Effects approach, and finds that targeted policies promoting energy-efficient technologies, farm-size optimisation, and refined subsidy structures could improve long-term environmental performance.
Thank you, Vivian, for your valuable insights and presentation!
