Professor Alastair Bailey is Professor of Agricultural Economics and Deputy Director of the Division of Human and Social Sciences at the University of Kent. His research examines small farmer market engagement in Eastern Europe and Africa, rural-urban migration patterns, consumer valuation of pesticide use, agricultural productivity measurement, technology adoption, and commodity trade economics.
His research analyzes labor adjustments in agriculture, efficiency comparisons between family and corporate farms, and the impact of agricultural policies like CAP payments on non-farm economies. Studies employ both parametric and non-parametric methods to understand farm-level decision-making and sectoral transformations.
Research has been funded by Defra, European Commission, European Parliament, and RELU programme. Recent work examines ecological farming impacts on labor, direct payment effects on commercialization, and employment consequences of agricultural subsidies.
