  • A.B., Economics, Indiana University, 1975.
  • Ph.D., Economics, University of Wisconsin, 1985.

Research Interests

 

My research interests are in the areas of applied welfare economics, benefit-cost analysis, and damage assessment as applied to environmental and natural resource management issues.  Most of my work is focused on choice modeling -- travel-cost models, hedonic price models, contingent valuation methods, and stated preference models.  I am particularly interested in applications to coastal and ocean resources.
