Timothy C. Haab

Timothy C. Haab studies environmental and natural resource economics, focusing on how to measure the economic value people place on things like clean beaches, reduced marine debris, and other non-market environmental goods. He works extensively with methods such as contingent valuation (surveys that ask people what they'd pay for an environmental improvement) and travel cost models (estimating value based on how far people travel to visit a site). His work also includes broader surveys of what environmental economists themselves think about key methodological debates in the field.

Publication output was modest and irregular over the last decade, with a small cluster of papers around 2017-2019 followed by long gaps and only occasional single publications since, averaging less than one paper per year over the last five years.
