I am the H. A. "Dave" True, Jr. Chair in Petroleum and Natural Gas Economics in the Department of Economics and Finance at the University of Wyoming.

I have a long-standing interest in Resource Economics.  Some of the topics I have conducted research on include issues regarding exploration for and extraction of non-renewable resources, and issues regarding common-property resources, particularly those that are renewable.  I am presently the managing editor of the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management.  I have also conducted a number of analyses that apply experimental economics techniques to theoretical issues in Industrial Organization.

Recent graduate courses I have taught include game theory and the economics of uncertainty and dynamic optimization, as well as industrial organization and econometrics.  Undergraduate classes include environmental economics and intermediate microeconomics.

In 1997, I spent the Fall semester in the Agricultural and Resource Economics department at the Oregon State University, and the Spring semester down under. From January to June, I was in New Zealand, at the University of Waikato. I also spent five weeks at the Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies, at the Australia National University.   To learn more about my adventures down under, click here.  In the Fall of 2003, I was a Visiting Fellow at Cambridge University, in Clare Hall; I am now a life member of Clare Hall.  I spent the Spring of 2004 at the University of California in Davis, where I taught in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics.

This server has abstracts of some of my recent working papers, some of which have Adobe pdf versions available to download, and a recent version of my vita.
