Benjamin Meadows serves as an Assistant Professor in the Marketing, Industrial Distribution, & Economics Department at the University of Alabama-Birmingham's Collat School of Business, holding this position since August 2019. His academic journey includes a PhD (2020) and MA (2016) in Economics from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
Dr. Meadows' research bridges two seemingly disparate fields: environmental economics and education economics. His environmental work focuses on dynamic modeling of biological systems, particularly invasive species management and energy issues. His education research examines how immigration policy affects classroom outcomes for vulnerable student populations, with current projects analyzing deportation threats on undocumented immigrant students' educational choices.
His publication record reveals a strong interdisciplinary approach, with recent work applying economic modeling to ecological challenges like invasive carp management and examining policy impacts on education access. The research demonstrates methodological sophistication through stochastic modeling and careful analysis of market failures in environmental contexts.
