Avi
Ebenstein received his
Ph.D. in economics from
University of California,
Berkeley in 2007. His fields of
interest include environmental
economics, health economics, and economic demography.
Dr. Ebenstein's past research
examined the impact of fertility
control policy in China on the
sex ratio, and investigated
policies that might address the
"missing girls" phenomenon in
Asia. He also explored linkages
between declining fertility and
increasing female labor supply
in Taiwan and the United States
in a comparative study. As a
Scholar, he plans to study the
health impacts of environmental
deterioration and the design of
effective environmental policy,
with a focus on developing countries. |
