Samyam Shrestha
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Georgia. My research lies at the intersections of agricultural, labor, and regional economics. I am interested in topics related to U.S. farm labor, local labor market dynamics, firm entry and exit, and the causes and effects of (im)migration shocks.
