What are the major pieces of literature on Agricultural economics as well as the household names when it comes to Agricultural economic research?
I am mathematics major student with an MA in Economics, I am developing an insatiable interest in Agricultural economics and would like to read more on research in this area. I would like to be guided on the body of literature making names in this field.
I will particularly be interested in works that apply econometric techniques using time series econometrics and forecasting, panel data.
