Greetings!

I am Jared Grant – an assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics at The Ohio State University. My research interests include food security, food access, trust, game theory, behavioral economics, and spatial econometrics. I have previously conducted research geared towards improving food insecure residents’ access to healthy foods. Broadly, I am interested in theorizing, visualizing, and modeling data that improves community well-being. My job market paper focuses on analyzing food initiatives through Trust Games geared towards improving food access across varying levels of residents’ trust using a Bayesian game theoretic model. If you have any questions or inquiries, please contact me via email or Linkedin.
