Dr Kedar Vishnu Presented His Research Work In Nanjing, China



CHRIST, Laavsa is all set to carve a niche for itself and let its presence be felt at international level. It is a matter of great pride and honour that two PGDM students from CIML have gone to Liverpool for further studies. Then Dr Kedar Vishnu, Assistant Professor from Department of Economics, CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Lavasa got an opportunity to present his research paper at a symposium in Nanjing, China. He upheld the prestige and glory of CHRIST, Lavasa during his stay and has set a benchmark for others to emulate.
Dr Kedar Vishnu presented his empirical research work on “Do transaction costs prevent smallholder’s participation in Supermarket?” in a symposium on “Small-holder Farms in Market Integration—Lessons and Experiences from China and South-East Asia” held at Nanjing, China from 10th to 14th November 2019. The symposium was organized by The International Association of Agricultural Economists (IAAE) and Nanjing Agricultural University (NJAU) and it sponsored his visit also. Dr Kedar visited Shanghai to discuss his research work with Dr Shao Xiang, Assistant Professor at Fudan University, China.
The research study revolved around empirically measuring the transaction costs in vegetable markets in India which is directly affected by asymmetric information, opportunistic behavior and asset specificity in modern food retail chains. The well-researched paper was based on a primary survey that was conducted in Karnataka, India.
Dr Kedar got an excellent platform to present his empirical work and received good feedback and suggestions from international experts who hailed from various universities such as the University of Gottingen, Peking university, International food Policy Research Institute and Nanjing Agricultural University. He further intends to go ahead with an international publication in Elsevier journal.  In addition to this, Mr. Kedar is making efforts to have some research collaboration between Peking University, China and Christ (Deemed to be University), Lavasa.
During his brief stay he also visited a few villages near Nanjing city in China to understand the Chinese methods of cultivation for better agriculture productivity and implement his findings in the Indian scenario. The visit has inspired and motivated Dr Kedar Vishnu to pursue some research work and have some international publications.
