Jennifer Meyer

Jennifer Meyer serves as Associate Professor of Government & Public Health at Franklin and Marshall College, where she bridges environmental economics and public health policy. Her research examines the intersection of environmental quality, human behavior, and long-term development outcomes, with particular focus on water, sanitation, and energy access issues in developing contexts.

Her research interests span Environmental Economics, Development Economics, and Environmental Health, with specific expertise in household technology adoption, coping behaviors for environmental challenges, and the long-term human capital impacts of environmental health issues. Meyer's work demonstrates how environmental health interventions affect cognitive development, educational outcomes, and gender dynamics, particularly in South Asian and African contexts.

Meyer's publication record shows consistent scholarly productivity with numerous high-impact articles in environmental and development economics. Her recent work (2020-2024) demonstrates expanding research scope from water and sanitation issues to clean cooking transitions, climate change adaptation, and gender dimensions of environmental health. The articles reveal methodological sophistication through natural experiments, longitudinal analyses, and systematic reviews addressing critical questions in environmental health policy.

Meyer maintains active scholarly engagement through her personal website (www.jenniferorgill.com) and professional networks, with research that directly informs policy debates around sustainable development and environmental health interventions.
