His work focuses on agricultural economics, sustainability, and climate change adaptation in farming systems.

Research Interests: Andreas Niedermayr specializes in agricultural economics with a strong emphasis on ecological farming, climate change adaptation, and the technical-economic performance of dairy farms. His research integrates econometric modeling and spatial analysis to evaluate agricultural practices, including oil-pumpkin cultivation, wind turbine impacts on farm income, and soil conservation strategies. He investigates how innovative and sustainable practices influence farm resilience and economic viability.

The trends in his recent publications highlight a consistent focus on sustainability in Austrian agriculture, particularly in dairy and alpine farming systems. His work frequently employs empirical and econometric methods to assess environmental and economic performance, often using FADN data and regression models. Topics include the trade-offs between greener practices and efficiency, farmer preferences in land management, and the socioeconomic impacts of renewable energy integration.
