Dr. Wichman is an applied microeconomist working at the intersection of environmental and public economics. His research focuses on how people interact with the natural and built environment, and what that behavior reveals about the value of environmental amenities. His work spans water and energy demand management, climate change impacts and policy, valuation of environmental resources and infrastructure, urban transportation, public goods provision, and outdoor recreation. Methodologically, he relies on program evaluation techniques and large micro-data sets to estimate causal effects of environmental policies on economic behavior.
Analysis of Dr. Wichman's publications reveals a consistent focus on environmental and resource economics, particularly examining the intersection of human behavior with environmental policy. His work frequently employs advanced econometric techniques to analyze large datasets, with a particular emphasis on water and energy economics, climate change impacts, and transportation behavior. A notable trend is his exploration of how information and pricing mechanisms influence consumer behavior in environmental contexts.
Dr. Wichman has received significant recognition for his work, including:
- Outstanding doctoral dissertation award from the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists
- Outstanding doctoral dissertation award from the Association of Agricultural and Applied Economists
Before joining Georgia Tech, Dr. Wichman served as the Research Director of the Energy and Environment Lab at the University of Chicago and as a Fellow at Resources for the Future in Washington, DC. His current appointments include editorial roles at multiple journals and participation in research initiatives with J-PAL North America.
