My areas of interest are health economics, environmental economics, urban economics, and public policy. My work deals with valuation of risks to human health and safety, valuation of urban and environmental amenities, benefit-cost analysis and public policy. I have an entry titled “Economics of Value of Life” that was published in the International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences and a chapter titled "Quality of Life" that was contributed to the edited volume, A Companion to Urban Economics. I have written books on environmental policy and traffic safety regulation. My research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, MacArthur Foundation, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Urban Institute, and Kentucky Cabinet for Natural Resources and Environmental Protection. "Valuing the Priceless" presents an overview of my research and work with graduate students.
