Timothy Hamilton is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the Robins School of Business, University of Richmond. His research specializes in environmental economics and non-market valuation, focusing on hedonic modeling, residential sorting, air quality, and land use dynamics. He actively collaborates with the Environmental Studies program and has contributed to policy discussions on urban planning and environmental justice.

• Education: Ph.D. in Economics (North Carolina State University, 2006); B.A. in Economics (Bentley University, 2006)

Hamilton's research explores the economic valuation of environmental amenities and disamenities. His work employs advanced empirical methods to quantify the impact of public goods on property values, assess efficiency in environmental decision-making, and analyze transportation infrastructure effects. Recent studies incorporate machine learning techniques to refine urban environmental valuation.

His publications demonstrate a consistent focus on environmental economics, with methodologies spanning hedonic modeling, residential sorting, and nonparametric analysis. Key themes include air quality, noxious facility siting, and the economic implications of public space design.

At the University of Richmond, Hamilton teaches foundational and advanced courses in statistics, econometrics, and environmental economics. His teaching emphasizes practical data analysis using Microsoft Excel and R, with applications to environmental and resource policy.
