Environmental Economist Martin Smith Receives National Dissertation Award

Martin D. SmithMartin D. Smith, assistant professor of environmental economics at the Nicholas School, has received the 2002 Outstanding Ph.D Dissertation Award from the American Agricultural Economics Association (AAEA) in recognition of his superior achievement in agricultural economics.

Smith earned his doctoral degree from the University of California at Davis in 2001. His dissertation was “Spatial Behavior, Marine Reserves and the Northern California Red Sea Urchin Fishery.”

The AAEA, a non-profit professional society for those interested in agricultural economics, environmental and natural resource economics, recognized Smith at its annual meeting in Long Beach, Calif., earlier this year with a certificate and a $1,000 award. The association is based in Ames, Iowa.

Smith’s research focuses on spatial issues in natural resource use and management. He specializes in applied econometrics and bioeconomic modeling. His research projects include evaluating marine reserves as a commercial fishery management tool and modeling the impacts of commercial fishing on endangered species through predator-prey interactions.
