معرفی
Roger H. von Haefen is a Professor and Associate Department Head in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at North Carolina State University. He also serves as Associate Director of the Center for Environmental and Resource Economic Policy (CEnREP) and Co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management. With a Ph.D. from Duke University and a B.A. from the University of Notre Dame, his research focuses on environmental and resource economics, particularly applying benefit-cost analysis and non-market valuation to water quality, coastal zones, transportation, and climate change adaptation. He has advised federal and state agencies on natural resource damages from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and co-organizes Camp Resources, an annual academic workshop. His work emphasizes empirical strategies for addressing unobservables in recreational demand modeling and policy analysis.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Economics, Duke University
- B.A. in Economics, University of Notre Dame
Research Interests: Dr. von Haefen’s work spans environmental policy evaluation, water quality valuation, climate adaptation strategies, and the economic impacts of endangered species protection. He integrates econometric methods to analyze recreational demand, assess environmental damages, and design cost-effective policies for natural resource management. Recent projects include quantifying the recreational costs of conservation policies in national parks and modeling the effects of weather patterns on outdoor activities.
Awards & Recognition:
- Journal Article of the Year (2010) for "Incomplete Demand Systems, Corner Solutions, and Welfare Measurement" (American Economic Review)
Grants & Advising: His advisory role in the Deepwater Horizon spill litigation involved estimating lost recreational benefits. He has led research on the economic trade-offs of endangered species protection in Cape Hatteras National Seashore and contributed to studies on gasoline tax impacts and fleet fuel economy. Grants have funded projects analyzing water quality improvements in urban watersheds and the economic value of submerged aquatic vegetation.
Labs/Teams: CEnREP and Camp Resources are central to his collaborative work. CEnREP focuses on policy-relevant research in environmental and resource economics, while Camp Resources provides a platform for early-career scholars to develop empirical techniques in the field.
