Curriculum Vitae

Roman Keeney began his appointment with the agricultural economics faculty of Purdue University in August 2005 as assistant professor of farm and rural household economics. Prior to that Roman was a Ph.D. student in the Purdue AgEcon department. The primary focus of Roman's graduate work has been the modeling and investigation of agricultural domestic policy disciplines as dictated by international trade agreements. His work with the Center for Global Trade Analysis at Purdue has led to co-authorship of five papers or book chapters with other Purdue faculty and staff on the topic of domestic support reform and decoupling. Roman’s dissertation project and current work continues this by extending analysis of decoupling agricultural support to examine the distributional impacts of policy change on U.S. farm households and quantifying farm household response to decoupled payments at the micro level using the USDA-ERS Agricultural Resource Management Survey Data.

Roman received a B.S. degree from the University of Kentucky in Biology, and B.S. and M.S. degrees in Agribusiness Economics from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois. Roman and his wife, Lori, have two sons—Travis and Lucas.
