Directions in Policy Analysis

摘要

It is an honor to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Southern Agricultural Economics Association (SAEA). Even though I spent much of my career on the west coast at the University of California at Berkeley, the annual SAEA meetings and theJournal of Agricultural and Applied Economics have been important in my professional development. I have received excellent comments from papers I have given at these meetings. Also, my professional contacts through the SAEA meetings have been invaluable. The SAEA and its members continue to make outstanding contributions to the economics of agriculture, especially in the South.
