Short Bio
Graziano Ceddia is Associate Professor in Sustainable Development at the Department of Public Governance of the MODUL University Vienna. Previously he was Lecturer (UK equivalent to Assistant Professor) in Applied Economics at the Department of Food Economics and Marketing of the University of Reading (UK), where he also served as Program Director for the MSc in Agricultural Economics. He obtained is PhD from the University of York (UK), working on the regulation of the externalities associated with the introduction of genetically modified crops in Europe. His main research interests fall in the area of Ecological Economics and Natural Resources Economics, modeling and analyzing the interactions between socio-economic and ecological systems, particularly in situations where 'market failures' operate. He has been addressing topics that range from the analysis of policy reforms in the agricultural sector to the coexistence between genetically modified and conventional crops, under a framework of spatial production externalities. More recently he has focused on the application of ecological-economic models and optimal control techniques to the problems of biosecurity, invasive species and infectious diseases management.
