Rate My Professor Amy Hagerman

Hagerman's research focuses on animal health economics, biosecurity, and the economic ramifications of livestock diseases, including foot-and-mouth disease, highly pathogenic avian influenza, and rift valley fever. Prominent publications encompass 'Epidemic and economic impacts of delayed detection of foot-and-mouth disease: a case study of a simulated outbreak in California' (Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2011), 'Emergency vaccination to control foot-and-mouth disease: implications of its inclusion as a US policy option' (Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, 2012), 'When poultry take a sick leave: Response costs for the 2014–2015 highly pathogenic avian influenza epidemic in the USA' (Food Policy, 2021), and 'Influence of climate factors on spatial distribution of Texas cattle breeds' (Climatic Change, 2013). Her scholarship, cited over 500 times, informs trade recovery, risk management, and policy decisions. Awards include the Oklahoma State University Distinguished Early Career Faculty Award and the Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics Outstanding Reviewer Award (less than 7 years experience, 2022). Through extension activities, she develops farm bill curricula, analyzes COVID-19 effects on beef cattle, advises on disaster relief, and discusses policy updates, enhancing producer resilience and agricultural policymaking.
