Gregory Howard

Gregory Howard serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at East Carolina University, maintaining his office in A-433 Brewster Building (Greenville, NC 27858) with contact details including phone 252-737-4318 and email howardgr@ecu.edu.

His research program centers on environmental and behavioral economics, with specialized expertise in:

• Agricultural conservation program design and farmer adoption behavior
• Water resources management through socio-hydrological modeling
• Risk perception and decision-making under uncertainty
• Non-market valuation of ecosystem services
• Experimental methodologies in policy evaluation

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2021-2025) reveals consistent integration of human behavioral models with physical environmental systems. His work predominantly examines agricultural conservation adoption in Midwestern watersheds, flood mitigation preferences, and renewable energy siting conflicts, frequently employing discrete choice experiments and agent-based modeling to bridge economic theory with real-world policy applications across Eastern and Midwestern United States contexts.
