OverviewAI-generated summary

Grant West's research focuses on the economic valuation of environmental goods and services, with a particular emphasis on consumer behavior and willingness-to-pay. His work investigates how factors such as UNESCO World Heritage site designations, climate change narratives, and restaurant surcharges influence consumer preferences and economic decisions. West has studied the demand for agricultural products, such as rice in Benin, and explored flexible estimation methods for groundwater service values and time preferences. His publications also address the relationship between urban tree cover and property values, employing meta-analysis to synthesize findings on a national scale. West's research network includes collaborators such as Lawton Lanier Nalley and Alvaro Durand-Morat from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom he has co-authored publications.
