So, OSU AEDE wanna go for more like an "interdisciplinary" group rather than a serious economics group?
Interdisciplinary = Grant Funding
Generally true. Also true is that "serious economics" = ignoring any plausibly real representation of environmental aspects of the problem

Amy Ando is terrible. She knows absolutely nothing of economics (including solving a basic Lagrangian), even for ag econ standards, despises any "theoretical" work (which for her includes even linear regression) and has quasi-criminally rejected papers during her tenure at AJAE on the basis of "technical work done by old white economists". She ascended during a period of lack of leadership at the UIUC ag department and has essentially eliminated any tenure standards there to benefit herself, given she has had essentially zero pubs since becoming an AP there. Today, the department tenures people with Q3 publications, including running online surveys on literally garbage (food waste), much because of her. This is her view to ag econ, an already dying field because of increasingly methodological and intellectual gaps wrt to econ (on the supply side) and because of the vanishing importance of ag themes and funding at land grant universities hiring ag economists (demand side). I feel sorry for PhD students at Ohio ag econ. They have no idea what's to come.

She's so bad that another university wants her? Just in 2022 she has publications in JAERE, LE, ERE. This field is dying, but it's because it has become essentially all zh@nggs trying to turn problem sets into immigration access.

This is a strange take given how obviously false it is from one look at the CV. She’s been there since 2015. Just since 2020, she’s published in multiple top enviro fields, science, and science advances.
given she has had essentially zero pubs since becoming an AP there.
