2007 Outstanding Faculty Recognition: Scholarship & Creative Activity

 

Scholarship that results in the highest quality, peer reviewed journal articles.

 

Brajer, Victor specializes in environmental and natural resource economics. He has worked on a variety of research projects, and as a consultant, for such organizations as: the American Lung Association; the South Coast Air Quality Management District; the Bay Area Air Quality Management District; the California Air Resources Board; the World Bank; and the cities of San Diego, California, and Houston, Texas. His most recent studies are Valuing the Health Benefits of Clean Air in Science, and The Value of Clean Air: A Survey of Economic Benefit Studies from 19901996, a major report prepared for the American Lung Association.

 

Fleissig, Adrian serves on the Advisory Board for Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis and is also a research Associate for Institute for Environmental and Economic Studies CSUF. Since 2004, he has published in toptier economics journals such as Oxford Economic Papers, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics and Review of International Economics. He is also the Principal Investigator for several major research projects for local and regional agencies and estimates the quarterly Southern California Leading Indicator for the Institute for Economic and Environmental Studies.

 

Hall, Jane has continued to build on an already distinguished and internationally recognized record in research into the economics of air pollution and health. She and her colleague Vic Brajer broke new ground for CSUF in obtaining highly competitive research support from both the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the California Endowment, as well as continued funding from the California Air Resources Board. Her recent publications include a journal article that investigates the association between smog and income, age and ethnicity, and a coauthored book on air quality management.
 

Mead, Robert does researches in economic issues in China and joint work with his CSUF colleagues on the Chinese and Hong Kong urban air quality, the health effects of air pollution, and the economic valuation of these health effects has resulted in publications in such diverse interdisciplinary journals as the Science of the Total Environment, Environment and Development Economics, and Urban Studies. The China research also prompted an invitation to present at the Collegium Ramazzinis 3 rd International Scientific Conference and a subsequent publication in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.
