Hi, I'm Edward Whitney and I study the economics of development and natural resource managment.

I spend most of my time as a PhD student in the Agricultural and Resource Economics program at UC Davis. Before returning to school, I worked for three years at the International Food Policy Research Institute as a research analyst, focusing mostly on poverty analysis in Pakistan. I have a master's degree in International Development from American University and a bachelor's degree in Economics from the University of Utah.

I focus on health and natural resources in developing countries. In my job market paper, I use a case study of Schistosomiasis in Uganda to explore the potential for economic policy to contribute to disease management. I'm excited to connect with other researchers on these subjects, so if your research overlaps feel free to contact me.
