Join us for the next event in: Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki Lincoln University Excellence Series. This series is designed to showcase leadership in various disciplines including the opportunity to promote the University’s distinctive and impactful applied research. The series celebrates research excellence and promotes a public forum to a broader community, highlighting Lincoln University’s specialist land-based contribution to driving New Zealand’s prosperity and intergenerational wellbeing.
Paul Dalziel has been Lincoln University’s Professor of Economics since 2002. He is a Director of the Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit. The AERU is a stand-alone Research Centre at Lincoln University, whose mission is to exercise leadership in research for sustainable wellbeing. Paul is the lead author of Wellbeing Economics: The capabilities approach to prosperity, which has had more than 100,000 accesses since its publication in 2018.
Join us as we hear from Professor Dalziel as he shares his research on wellbeing economics. His talk will focus on the distinctive contributions that a specialist land-based university makes to the sustainable wellbeing of agribusinesses in the food and fibre sector. These contributions remain as important as ever in the context of an increasingly urbanised domestic population and major global challenges impacting on the bioeconomy of Aotearoa New Zealand.

About Our Speaker
Professor Paul Dalziel
My research focuses on economic and social policy, with a particular interest in regional economic development and sustainable wellbeing. I investigate how persons, households, communities, markets, regions, countries and the global community can expand capabilities for human wellbeing. I am Deputy Director of the Agribusiness and Economics Research Unit (AERU), where clients fund our projects to test specific science hypotheses that are important for their objectives. I spend a large part of my time engaging with industry and policy advisors to determine critical research questions and to deliver new knowledge arising from my scientific work. My research influences policy development and is used directly by NZ end-users (particularly in the context of agri-food global value chains) as well as shaping the international scholarly literature on wellbeing economics. In 2017, I was appointed Regional Studies Association Ambassador to New Zealand, joining a global network of 65 scholars working to increase linkages, cooperation and collaborative research internationally. I am the lead author of Wellbeing Economics: The Capabilities Approach to Prosperity, which is the fifth most downloaded book in economics published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2018.
