About Dr. Newburn:
David Newburn's primary research interests focus on the economics of land use and water resources, relying heavily on the application of geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial econometrics. Recent research projects include: housing development and land-use regulations in the urban-rural fringe; optimal allocation of conservation funds for protecting open space and habitat; agricultural water management and instream flows; and environmental trading programs in water quality.
