Professor of Environmental and Ecological Economics Note that I have moved to Aber Uni’s School of Management
and Business I
am a Professor of Environmental and Ecological Economics, specialising in the
economic and social valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Although I utilise a wide range of non-market valuation methods, my
speciality is in the use of stated preference method (choice experiments). I
am also interested in exploring ways in which these methods might be enhanced
by e.g. incorporating participatory and deliberative approaches to improve
people’s preference revelation. Other areas of expertise include: outdoor
recreation, tourism, agri-environment, and economic impact. Recent
research projects have been funded by NERC’s VNN, BESS and ESPA programmes,
as well more applied Defra research on e.g. the ecosystem service value of
the UK BAP and SSSIs. Increasingly, I am focusing my research to examine the
human welfare impacts of biodiversity loss in developing countries, with
recent studies in Malawi, Nigeria, Ghana, the Solomon Islands and the
Caribbean. I also contributed to TEEB and the UK National Ecosystem
Assessment.
