Policy and Benefit-Cost Analysis
My policy analysis services
include cost-benefit analyses of public policy and
private sector initiatives, analyzing the
feasibility of environmental remediation alternatives,
conducting analyses of existing and proposed energy and
environmental regulations, and analyzing industry deregulation.
Examples of my experience in public policy and
cost-benefit analysis include the following:
 | Estimated benefits and
costs of tagging explosives for the U.S.
Department of Treasury (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
and Firearms). |
| Conducted an analysis of public
spending on illegal substance abuse in metropolitan
Chicago. This analysis identified treatment and
prevention expenditures by federal, state, and local
governments and estimated expenditures in the criminal
justice system attributable to illegal drugs. This
analysis was conducted for the Institute for Metropolitan Affairs, Roosevelt University. |
| Participated in the Regional Dialog on Clean Air and Redevelopment for the City of Chicago Department of Environment. |
| Estimated the effects of hydroelectric power marketing options on
fuel, water, and crop substitution in irrigated agriculture using
constrained optimization methods. The results of
this research were published as Fuel, Crop, and Water Substitution in
Irrigated Agriculture (with Silvio J. Flaim and Richard E. Howitt),
Resource and Energy Economics, Volume 18, Number 3, October 1996. |
