Biography: I am a Professor in the Economics Department at Brock University.� I am an applied micro-economist. My Doctoral degree is from the University of British Columbia where I specialized in natural resource economics and public finance.� My Doctoral thesis investigated inefficiencies associated with regulatory policies in Canada�s west coast fisheries.�My current research focuses upon several areas.� In addition to my continued interest in fisheries, I also work in the area of non-market valuation, particularly the use of formats such as contingent valuation and choice experiments. Recently, I have applied these techniques to obtaining values for improved water quality.� A third research area is the application of efficiency techniques to the water-supply sector. |
