OverviewAI-generated summary
Grant West's research investigates economic valuations of environmental services, with a focus on groundwater resources. He has examined how factors such as UNESCO World Heritage site designations influence willingness to pay for environmental preservation, as seen in his work on dry stone walls in Mt. Etna. West has also explored consumer behavior related to environmental initiatives, including willingness to pay for restaurant surcharges aimed at reducing carbon emissions and the impact of climate change narratives on stated preferences for groundwater management. His work includes estimating demand elasticities for agricultural products, such as rice in Benin, and analyzing the relationship between tree cover and property values nationally.
His research methodology often involves flexible estimation techniques and choice experiments to understand risk preferences and time preferences related to natural resource management. West has collaborated with Lawton Lanier Nalley and Alvaro Durand-Morat at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on shared publications. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 11, with 37 total publications and 347 total citations, and his most recent publication was in 2022, indicating recent activity.
