From 5 to 7 June, the 10th European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE) PhD Workshop was held at Corvinus University in Budapest, Hungary, bringing together young researchers and scholars from across Europe. Among the participants were four PhD students from the Agricultural and Food Market Research Group, who presented their research on a variety of agricultural economics topics.
Milan Tatic looked at the impact of national mandatory country-of-origin labelling policies on dairy trade in the EU, Leonie Bach provided insights into an experimental study exploring the potential of nudging consumers to buy animal welfare products in a virtual supermarket, Bodo Rehm discussed potential drivers of biostimulant preferences among German protein crop farmers, while Monja Sauvagerd presented her research on the concentration and fragmentation of digital agricultural platforms and data. Her presentation won the Best Flash Paper Award.
The workshop concluded with a boat tour on the Danube, providing participants with the opportunity to enjoy the scenic views of Budapest while engaging in informal discussions and networking. This year's EAAE PhD Workshop not only highlighted the significant contributions of emerging researchers, but also fostered a collaborative community focused on advancing agricultural economics.
