Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Grant West's research program associate work at the University of Arkansas focuses on the economic valuation of environmental and natural resources. His publications investigate how external factors, such as UNESCO World Heritage designations or restaurant surcharges, influence consumer willingness to pay for environmental goods and services. West has explored the demand for agricultural products, like rice in Benin, and the valuation of groundwater services, including time preferences and risk preferences related to groundwater management. He has also examined the impact of climate change narratives on stated preferences for long-term water resource management. Additionally, his work includes meta-analyses on the relationship between tree cover and property values across the United States. West collaborates with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His scholarly output includes 37 publications with 364 citations and an h-index of 11.
