We have some new staff members on the hallway and we want to briefly introduce them over the next few weeks.

Dr. Ernst Idsardi
The four Agricultural Economists have been at the NWU for a while, but in 2016 they officially joined the School of Economics. The third one that gets an introduction is Dr. Ernst Idsardi.
He obtained his BSc in the Netherlands, his MSc in Agricultural Economics at the University of the Free State, and his PhD in International Trade at the North-West University. Dr Idsardi’s research focuses on agricultural development and international trade – specifically agricultural product space. He has worked on numerous research projects for both national and international stakeholders in the agricultural sector.
