Recent research has looked at the impacts of social norms on common-pool resource management, measurement of individual discount rates for environmental projects, the consistent modeling of individual welfare across value elicitation methods, and the stability of individual preferences in the presence of external stimuli. Haab is a graduate of Agricultural and Resource Economics Department at the University of Maryland. He joined Ohio State University in 2000 after five years on faculty at East Carolina University

She has been an associate editor of the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management and the American Journal of Agricultural Economics. Prior to joining the University of Oregon faculty in 2001, she was a professor of economics at UCLA. She has research interests in the valuation of non-market goods - in particular, the empirical measurement of the social benefits of environmental policies, including individuals' willingness to pay to reduce environmental risks to human life and health. She received a Ph.D. in economics from Princeton.

John List, Chair, University of Chicago John List is a professor of economics at the University of Chicago. His research focuses on such topics as discrimination in markets, market institutions, charitable giving, the environment and ways in which people determine value.
