Paul Fackler
Dr. Fackler is a professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics at NC State. His research has focused on agricultural price analysis,futures and options markets, risk assessment and management, and computational economics.  Dr. Fackler has published a widely cited book,  Applied Computational Economics and Finance, with Mario Miranda which presents a variety of computational methods used to solve dynamic problems in economics and finance. Recently he has shifted his focus to the application of dynamic optimization theory to problems in environmental and resource economics including land use and conservation, control of greenhouse gases and optimal resource extraction and harvesting.

Laura O. Taylor - CEnREP Director
Dr. Taylor is a Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics at NC State.  Her research focuses on the nexus between urban land-use and environmental quality, the valuation of natural resources and the environment, the use of experimental economics to improve the conduct of non-market valuation, and improving benefit/cost tools for examining policies designed to reduce human mortality. Her research has received funding from a variety of sources including the USDA, the US Environmental Protection Agency and the National Science Foundation.  She is a member of the Science Advisory Board for the US Environmental Protection Agency, the current Vice President of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, and a member of the editorial boards for the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Environmental and Resource Economics, and Resource and Energy Economics, and a member of the Ocean Policy Steering Committee sponsored by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management. dr. laura taylor

Roger von Haefen - CEnREP Associate Director
Dr. von Haefen’s is a Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics at NC State.  His research focuses on environmental economics and policy. Most of his work has developed methodological tools for the non-market valuation of environmental resources with revealed preference data. He has applied these tools to measure the benefits associated with nonpoint source pollution abatement, outdoor recreation, and transportation services. His more recent research focuses on the effects of gasoline prices on fleet fuel economy as well as the demand for water and biofuels. dr. vonHaefen

Lori. S Bennear - CEnREP Visiting Scholar
Dr. Bennear is an Assistant Professor in the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University.   Dr. Bennear’s research focuses on estimating the effect of different regulatory innovations on measures of facility-level environmental performance, such as pollution levels, chemical use, and technology choice. Recent work has focused on measuring the effectiveness of management-based regulations, which require each regulated entity to develop its own internal rules and initiates to achieve reductions in pollution, as well as the effectiveness of regulations that mandate public reporting of toxic emissions.  Dr. Bennear is a visiting scholar with CEnREP through December, 2008.
