DR. H.L. GOODWIN Agricultural Economist

Dr. Goodwin received his B.S. degree in Agricultural Education from Oklahoma State University in 1975 and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Agricultural Economics from the same institution in 1978 and 1982, respectively. After graduation, he accepted an appointment as Assistant Professor at Texas A&M in the Departments of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology. In 1988, he was promoted to Associate Professor of Agricultural Economics and became Associate Director of the Texas Agricultural Market Research Center one year later. His research and teaching focused on market structures, specialty marketing and quantitative methods.

In 1991, Dr. Goodwin received a Fulbright Scholar appointment in Czechoslovakia at the University of Agriculture in Nitra. He was the first economist to teach in-residence at that time. Upon returning to Texas A&M, his research focused primarily on the ethnic specialty rice market and resultant market support structure, as well as international-based research and consultancy in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Goodwin was appointed as the Agricultural and Food Systems Policy Advisor to the Minister of Agriculture in Slovakia, where he was instrumental in advancing numerous market and legislative reforms in this transition economy.

Dr. Goodwin has in excess of 70 scientific publications and over 50 presentations, workshops and seminars to his credit. He joined the Center for Excellence in Poultry Science as a faculty member in Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness in December, 1997 and has research and extension responsibilities in economic and business issues related to the poultry industry, including international trade, food safety linkages and comparative analysis of the industry with other food and non-food industry segments. Dr. Goodwin's teaching duties are in the area of agribusiness and market structures and marketing management.
