RESEARCH AND TEACHING INTERESTS

Global to local trends in natural resources conditions, utilization, ownership, management and societal interests have significant implications for research needs in the area of economics and policy. Using these trends as a basis for defining research priorities, I am focusing on resource sustainability and specifically the social and economic impacts of forest and other wildland use, timber harvesting and forest management practices; the use and effectiveness of various policy tools to promote sustainable natural resources management; the design, administration, and economic evaluation of forest and related natural resources policies and programs; and the valuation and taxation of forests and other wildland.
