Environmental and Development Economics

A picture of Tihitina Andarge.

I am an environmental economist with secondary interests in development economics. My research focuses on various aspects of policy implementation: monitoring and enforcement, manipulable thresholds, environmental justice, information, and environmental health. I examine these issues in the context of water pollution regulations but my work has implications for other media.

My fields of research are Applied Game Theory, Behavioral and Experimental Economics and Applied Econometrics. My current researches use diversified methods, including mathematical modeling, experimental design and a wide range of statistical methods, to look at questions of methodological importance or policy relevance. I am particularly interested in investigating how people make decisions under risks in the areas of labor economics, health economics, and applied econometrics.

My research interests are in a field of Environmental and Natural Resource Economics (ENRE) with the primary focus on land use policy and water resources. Grounded in economic theory, I utilize advanced econometrics (Causal Inference, Panel Data, and Time Series) and data science tools (Python, R, Google Earth Engine, and BigQuery) to address critical applied research topics.
