My research is in the interface between natural resources and local economic
conditions. The latest studies investigated how coastal hazards such as erosion,
storms and flooding impact tourism and property prices. To make a long story
very short, we found that flooding and erosion hazards, and the actions taken
against them, were major determinants of tourism and property prices in coastal
areas. Also, the demand for flood insurance was found to be unresponsive to changes
in insurance prices. The research reports are available at the Heinz
Center website.
I teach two courses. AAEC 4610 Applied
Econometrics and AAEC 4710/6710 Rural

For my extension work I develop and maintain the Georgia
