Biography Curriculum Vitae - Weitong Long I am currently a PhD candidate from Environmental Economics and Natural Resources Group (ENR) at Wageningen University & Research in Wageningen, the Netherlands. I am supervised by Associate Prof. Dr. Xueqin Zhu, Associate Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Weikard, Prof. Dr. Oene Oenema from Wageningen University & Research, as well as Prof. Dr. Yong Hou from China Agricultural university. I conducted one-year of research as a visiting PhD student at China Agricultural university in Beijing, China under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Yong Hou from September 2020 to September 2021. Additionally, I conducted four-month of research as a visiting PhD student at University of California, Davis in Davis, the United States, under the supervision of Assistant Professor Dr. Luis M. Peña-Lévano from October 2024 to January 2025. I am scheduled to submit my PhD thesis in August 2025, with my defense anticipated in December 2025. Currently, I am seeking academic opportunities for the 2025-2026 academic year. I am available for interviews at both the European Job Market (EJME) and the Allied Social Science Associations (ASSA). With over 6+ years of experience as an interdisciplinary quantitative researcher, I specialise in integrated environmental-economic modelling and environmental impact assessment of food systems. My expertise lies in applying quantitative modelling approaches to explore mitigation options towards sustainable food systems. My PhD dissertation focuses on assessing the impacts of food system transformation options—such as supply-side and demand-side measures, and environmental policies—at the regional, national, and global levels. I employ an integrated environmental-economic modelling approach based on the general equilibrium framework that is able to represent regional consumption, production, environmental variables, and international trade with other regions. I have published 10 scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals, including two first-authored papers, one published in Environmental Science & Technology (SCI Q1; IF= 10.8) and the other in Sustainable Production and Consumption (SCI & SSCI Q1, IF=10.9), along with a co-authored paper published in Nature Food (SCI Q1; IF=23.6). In my Job Market Paper, currently under Minor Revision at Nature Food, I highlight that rebound effects may undermine benefits of upcycling food waste and food processing by-products as animal feed in China, and have significant knock-on effects beyond the agricultural sectors, thereby influencing sectoral employment, gross domestic product, and household welfare. Implementing appropriate emission taxes provides an opportunity to absorb the rebound effects on emissions but may negatively affect food security indicators and shift emission-intensive sectors from China to its trading partners, depending on the height of the taxes. |
