Desmond’s dissertation title was “Application of Austrian Economic Theory and Complexity Theory to the Institutional Evolution of Agricultural Markets” (2001). Desmond programmed an agent-based simulation model of firms in three vertically related industries to study the evolution of institutional arrangements (cash markets, contracts) that link the sub-sectors as a result of firms’ entrepreneurial search for alternative production and marketing strategies.
