Hilary Sigman is Professor of Economics at Rutgers University and Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), specializing in empirical environmental policy analysis. Her work bridges environmental economics, public finance, and legal frameworks through rigorous quantitative methods focused on real-world regulatory challenges. Academic Background: B.A. from Yale University M.Phil. from Cambridge University (U.K.) Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sigman's research centers on environmental policy effectiveness, with three interconnected pillars: hazardous waste management (Superfund remediation, brownfield redevelopment, and liability systems), water resource economics (transboundary rivers, dam construction, and drought impacts), and waste management systems (municipal recycling and international waste flows). Her methodology combines econometric analysis of regulatory outcomes with institutional insights from policy implementation. Current projects examine climate adaptation for contaminated sites, economic consequences of China's waste import ban, and drought-related economic disruptions. Analysis of her recent publications reveals intensifying focus on climate adaptation challenges within environmental regulation, particularly regarding Superfund site resilience. The work increasingly addresses international dimensions of waste policy and transboundary water management, reflecting growing recognition of globalization's impact on environmental governance. Her empirical approach consistently links micro-level regulatory mechanisms to macro-level environmental outcomes. Professional Engagement: Research funding from National Science Foundation and Environmental Protection Agency Committee service for U.S. EPA Science Advisory Board Contributions to National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine panels Teaching: Environmental Economics (Econ 432) and Applied Econometrics (Econ 609) Sigman maintains active policy engagement through government advisory roles while advancing academic knowledge through NBER affiliation. Her research program demonstrates consistent evolution from domestic regulatory analysis toward globally interconnected environmental challenges, particularly waste flows and climate adaptation in contaminated site management.

Eunchun Park serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness at the University of Arkansas, concurrently holding the position of Director of the Experiment Station (DREX). A specialist in Bayesian spatial statistics and econometrics, his research focuses on agricultural risk analysis with particular emphasis on crop insurance mechanisms and financial commodity markets. His methodological expertise addresses critical data scarcity challenges in federal crop insurance premium calculations through advanced spatial modeling techniques. Dr. Park's academic foundation includes: Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics from Oklahoma State University (2017) M.S. in Food and Resource Economics from Korea University (2013) B.S. in Food and Resource Economics from Korea University (2010) His research program centers on extreme price and yield risk quantification in agricultural commodities, employing sophisticated Bayesian modeling frameworks to overcome data limitations in spatial risk assessment. Current work develops innovative approaches for measuring catastrophic risks in crop production systems and refining insurance rating structures through spatial smoothing of yield densities. This research bridges theoretical econometric advances with practical applications for risk management tools used by farmers and policymakers. Analysis of Dr. Park's recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory in spatial risk modeling for agricultural insurance systems, with increasing focus on prevented planting coverage factors, commodity market volatility around information releases, and climate-related production risks. His work demonstrates methodological progression from theoretical Bayesian frameworks toward actionable risk assessment tools, particularly through the application of kriging techniques to non-normal yield distributions and extreme event modeling. Dr. Park's scholarly contributions have been recognized through: Outstanding Contribution to Applied Risk Analysis Award (2020) from the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association Outstanding Graduate Student Paper Award (2018) from the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation Award (2018) from the Southern Agricultural Economics Association While specific details of current advisees and grant funding are not provided in available materials, his active publication record in top agricultural economics journals suggests an ongoing mentorship role for graduate students and potential involvement in externally funded research initiatives related to agricultural risk management. His work on spatial smoothing techniques and extreme risk modeling likely informs collaborative projects with agricultural extension services and federal risk management agencies. No specific laboratory facilities or dedicated research teams are mentioned in the available documentation, though his methodological expertise suggests collaboration with spatial statistics and agricultural risk modeling groups within the university's research infrastructure.
