- Extracted and cleaned data of over 20,000 observations on 20 years of insurance, yield and corn planted acres in RMA-USDA and NASS-USDA with STATA

- Visualized the corn insurance purchase in the Midwest area with ArcGIS software

- Developed FE and SUR regression model to determine the policy impact on insurance demand and the insurance demand elasticities regarding loss-risk, premium, subsidy, yield

- Analyzed the results in the thesis: “An Empirical Analysis of Crop Insurance demand: Evidence from Corn Insurance in the Midwest”
