Previous positions

Senior Research Associate - Centre for Social and Environmental Research on the Global Environment (CSERGE), University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK.

Senior Economist – OFWAT (Office of Water Services), Birmingham, UK.

Lecturer in Environmental Management, University of Birmingham, UK.

Areas of Teaching

Natural resource economics; environmental and ecological economics; benefit-cost analysis; applied production analysis.

Research interests

My principal research areas are concerned with the valuation of ecosystem goods and services and economic assessment methodologies that incorporate these valuations.  I also have a further strand of research that has developed out of my interest in efficiency and productivity analysis, particularly with respect to agricultural enterprises.  I am actively researching methodologies that allow the incorporation of environmental externalities into measures of productivity.  I am also involved in several projects that measure efficiency and productivity in more conventional ways.
