Research
Chad Hellwinckel's primary work involves modeling
policy scenarios within POLYSYS, which is a partial
equilibrium agricultural policy simulation model
of the U.S. agricultural sector. His major contributions
to POLYSYS have been the additions of alternative
energy crops, residue harvesting and integration
of the ERS livestock model within the modeling
framework. Chad has over 15 years of energy related
experience. In the early 90's he helped establish
an energy accounting program for the Land Institute's
Sunshine Farm Project. Chad has been working with
the University's Agricultural Policy Analysis
Center for 8 years. He is currently pursuing a
PhD in Geography with an emphasis on future energy
supply shocks and its potential effects upon rural
economies, farming methods, crop types and distributions,
and the environment.
