*Speaker:*Dr. Linda Fernandez

*Title:*Economic Analyses of Policy Options for Solving Water Challenges

This brown bag seminar offers several applied economic analyses of 
public and private incentives in policies for environmental and natural 
resource management internationally and locally. The analyses involve 
models accounting for multiple stakeholders, data and empirical 
applications to assess current or proposed policies for addressing 
problems affecting water and other resources (energy, air, biodiversity).

Associate Professor, Linda Fernandez is a candidate for the advertised 
position, Associate Director, WRRC, and Associate/Full Professor, 
Agricultural and Resource Economics. She has been Associate Professor 
of  Environmental and Resource Economics at UC Riverside since 2005 and 
received her Ph.D. from UC Berkeley's Department of Agricultural and 
Resource Economics. Prior to Ph.D. studies, Dr. Fernandez worked at the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 on water quality and 
agricultural projects involving economic incentives to reduce pesticide 
and erosion emissions to waterways. While studying for her Master's 
degree at the University of Hawaii, she worked as a researcher at the 
East West Center's Pacific Islands Development Program on economic 
development and water protection projects for Pacific island nations. 
She received her Bachelor's degree from UC Davis in International 
Agricultural Development. Her research explores public and private 
economic incentives for pollution control and natural resource 
protection at local sites through international scales of management by 
applying economic theory to empirical problems.
