Research Interests:
Professor Timmins received his PhD from Stanford University in 1997 and joined the Duke Economics Department in 2004 after spending seven years on the faculty at Yale University. With a focus on environmental and development economics, his research has been supported by Resources for the Future, the World Bank, the National Science Foundation, and the Inter-American Development Bank. His current research focuses on the role of equilibrium models of sorting behavior in describing preferences for non-marketed environmental commodities, identifying agglomeration and congestion effects in urban economies, and describing the spatial variation in mulitidimensional measures of poverty in Brazil.
