The Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics (AEDE) at The Ohio State University is welcoming several new faculty during the 2011-2012 academic year. This month we highlight Professor Allen Klaiber, who comes to us with his Ph.D. from North Carolina State University after previously serving on the faculty at Penn State. He teaches several key classes dealing with statistical methods, environmental and resource economics and regional economic development. A focus of much of his research is the valuation of environmental amenities using data from housing markets. Some of you may have seen him at the Farm Science Review in September, where he participated in the panel discussion on shale oil development in Ohio. In addition to being an economist, Allen is an avid birder and orchardist.
Welcome Allen!
