A lot of places!  I have a Bachelor's degree from Ohio University, a Master of Science in Economics from Texas A&M University and a Ph.D. in Agricultural and Resource Economics from the University of California at Berkeley.  Phew, that's a lot of years of school!

In 2009, I and two co-authors were awarded the Publication of Enduring Quality by the Agricultural and Applied Economics Assocation for an article entitled, "Statistical Efficiency of Double-Bounded Dichotomous Choice Contingent Valuation," published in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1991.  My co-authors were Michael Hanemann and John Loomis.

My current favorites are k.d. lang's cover of "Hallelujah" and anything by James Morrison, Johnny Cash and Girlyman.
