Research Interest Statement
Dr. Wu's research areas include optimal design of environmental and conservation policy, interactions between agricultural production and water quality, land use economics and policy, rural-urban interface, and economic geography. He has studied a variety of policy issues related to agricultural production, resource conservation, and environmental management at the national, state and local levels. His recent projects include optimal allocation of conservation funds in the presence of threshold effects and ecosystem linkages; optimal design of conservation payments under asymmetric information; the slippage effect of conservation programs; environmental and distributional impacts of alternative conservation targeting strategies; mandatory versus voluntary environmental regulations; contract design for the purchase of ecosystem services; the impacts of farm policies on agricultural production and water quality; relative efficiency of alternative policy instruments to reduce nonpoint-source water pollution; dynamic interactions between urban development, land use regulations, and municipal structure; natural endowments and economic development in rural America; and economic geography and ecosystem protection.He has received research grants from several sources, including the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Research Initiative Programs and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Science to Achieve Results Program. Dr. Wu has received several awards for quality research, including American Agricultural Economics Association's Quality of Research Discovery Award and the Western Agricultural Economics Association's Outstanding Published Research Award. He is currently an associate editor of American Journal of Agricultural Economics and a member of the editorial council for several professional journals, including Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Land Economics, and Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics.
