Agricultural Economics 

  • Associate Professor of Ag Economics
765.494.4253
Krannert Room 692

Roman Keeney began his appointment with the agricultural economics faculty of Purdue University in August 2005 as assistant professor of farm and rural household economics. Prior to that Roman was a Ph.D. student in the Purdue AgEcon department. Roman’s research program explores how farm households and rural residents respond to and are impacted by changes to farm and farm related policies. Roman has worked extensively on the interaction between U.S. domestic farm programs and international trade barriers, focusing in particular on the distribution of gains and losses across the population of U.S. farmers. Recently, Roman has taken on Extension responsibilities for analysis and education of farm payment programs. In addition to research and Extension, Roman teaches the department’s undergraduate math programming course and graduate level production economics course.

Roman grew up on a cow-calf farm in central Kentucky and received a B.S. degree from the University of Kentucky in Biology. He subsequently completed B.S. and M.S. degree programs in Agribusiness Economics at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois before moving on to Purdue for his doctoral studies and initial faculty appointment. Roman and his wife, Lori, have two sons—Travis and Lucas.
