Outlook of India Rice Production and International Rice Price
Willy Mulimbi and Alvaro Durand-Morat
We employ three different rice production scenarios for India to examine the behavior of international rice prices over the next decade. Our findings suggest that rice prices could range between $442 and $582 per metric ton (MT) in the short term, then stay above $520/MT from 2029 onward.

 T.W. Schultz Lecture & AAEA Reception
Saturday, Jan. 3, 2026

Marriott Philadelphia Downtown
Hilary Hoynes, Chancellor's Professor of Economics and Public Policy, University of California, Berkeley
"The Social Safety Net as an Investment in Children"
Professor Hilary Hoynes’s talk will review research on the impacts of the social safety net on children's long-term outcomes. Traditionally, economic research has emphasized the incentive effects of tax credits and transfer programs, often neglecting their potential benefits, particularly for children. Hoynes will review a growing body of evidence evaluating the impacts of childhood exposure to programs like food stamps, the EITC, and Medicaid on long term outcomes including health, education, earnings, and criminal justice involvement in adulthood. She will also discuss recent evidence from RCTs on the effect of unconditional cash supports on short term child outcomes. She will present cost-benefit analyses like the Marginal Value of Public Funds to evaluate the extent to which these programs represent a public investment in children.
