Dr. Rohit Jindal serves as Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Decision Sciences within MacEwan University's School of Business in Edmonton, Alberta. His academic leadership spans quantitative methods, decision sciences, and sustainability-focused research with significant policy implications for businesses and communities globally.
He holds a PhD from Michigan State University and an M.Sc. from the University of Edinburgh, with prior research appointments at the University of Calgary's Haskayne School of Business and the University of Alberta's Department of Resource Economics.
Dr. Jindal's research integrates environmental economics, behavioral decision-making, and econometric analysis to address sustainability challenges. His work examines carbon markets, payments for ecosystem services, and risk analysis through field experiments across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. He employs choice experiments and behavioral economics to investigate how incentives shape environmental compliance and land-use decisions, particularly in developing economies.
His publication trajectory reveals deepening engagement with climate policy mechanisms, evolving from foundational work on carbon forestry impacts in Africa to recent analyses of agricultural carbon offsets and forest landscape restoration. The research consistently bridges theoretical econometrics with practical policy applications in environmental management.
