What they're saying

I can't believe you're an economist. Fantastic.
-- B Madsen
John Whitehead = HILARIOUS!
-- Mark C R UK
... explains the mechanics of things with numbers and reason and insight. Don't be intimidated by the economics angle. It's never abstruse or technical. Instead, the tone is straightforward and forthright, at times bracing or breezy.

-- Milken Institute Review
These guys have the self-confidence to call their blog simply 'Environmental Economics', and rightly so.
-- Oikos
... [a] surprisingly entertaining site about economics.
-- Bottleworld.net
"... the refreshingly accessible 'Environmental Economics' blog"
-- American Institute of Biological Sciences
I'm not an economist nor am I a genius, but what you state is so glaringly obvious I don't understand why the vast majority of Americans don't get it.
-- Fritz
... the Environmental Economics blog ... is now the default homepage on my browser (but then again, I guess I am a wonk -- a word I learned on the E.E. blog). That is a very nice service to the profession.

"... I try and read the blog everyday and have pointed it out to other faculty who have their students read it for class. It is truly one of the best things in the blogosphere."

Tim Haab

Tim Haab is a Professor in the Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics at The Ohio State University. He received his PhD from the University of Maryland in 1995 and spent five years on the faculty at East Carolina University before moving to Ohio State. Tim's research and teaching focus on methods for valuing environmental amenities and applying statistical methods to economic problems (called econometrics).
