Top SchoolKelsey Larson is an assistant professor and extension specialist in agricultural economics at Montana State University with nine years of applied research experience linking public economics to on-the-ground land stewardship. She holds a PhD in Economics from MIT and investigates how policy tools—like conservation easement tax incentives and short-term agricultural payments—shape long-term environmental outcomes on private land. Previously she worked as a research analyst with Innovations for Poverty Action, where she combined field survey design, data cleaning automation, and analysis to support rigorous impact evaluation. Kelsey blends academic rigor with practical extension work, translating empirical findings into actionable guidance for farmers and policymakers across rural landscapes.
