Profile Summary

I hold a PhD in economics, and my specialization lies in environmental economics, econometrics and applied microeconomics. I have extensive experience in designing, conducting and analyzing household surveys. In addition to primary dataset, I also work with spatial and non-spatial data sets ranging from cross-section to time-series and panel data structures. My past research works have incorporated empirical approaches such as hedonic valuation, choice experiment, contingent valuation, travel cost, spatio-temporal analysis, non-linear modeling, optimal control, impact evaluations, and cost-benefit analysis to name a few. I have excellent written and oral communication skills. My research has been published in several academic journals, and I have given talks on my research to both technical and non-technical audiences. I am currently a professor of economics at Saint John’s University, MN. I am proficient in Stata, R, ArcGIS, Python and Microsoft Excel.
