Jacob Ricker-Gilbert studies the economics of agricultural development in Sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on topics such as fertilizer subsidies, land tenure security, seed adoption, postharvest crop losses, and food markets.

This research is relevant to students interested in development economics, agricultural policy evaluation, and rural livelihoods in low-income countries.
