PROFILE

Walls's current research focuses on issues related to urban land use, open space, and transportation. She has analyzed transferable development rights programs for managing land use in urban fringe areas, assessed the value of different types of parks and open space, and evaluated telecommuting in urban areas.  Walls also currently works on issues related to climate and energy policy and has published numerous articles on solid waste and recycling. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Public Economics, National Tax Journal, Journal of Urban Economics and Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, among others.
