Bibliography

Dr. Junyi Hua is currently an Assistant Professor of Economics at Faculty of Finance at City University of Macau. She received her PhD in Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics from The Ohio State University. As an applied econometrician, her research uses micro-level data to understand human behavior at a micro-level. Her research focus is on the agricultural implications and housing supply changes resulting from the effects of climate change on land markets and agricultural outcomes. Her interest in exploring issues of sustainable economic growth from the perspective of land use management in the short and long run leads to productive collaboration with researchers in ecology, hydrology, and environmental earth sciences seeking viable and effective policy solutions to cope with the negative externalities including the implicit cost of government regulation and the implicit costs of adaption to environmental challenges. Understanding of how farmers and landowners respond to changes in climate factors, as well as the impact of these changes on the urbanizing landscape is a unifying theme in her research program. Her research consists of three core components. The first component is the understand the drivers of agricultural decision making and resulting land prices. The second is to embed agricultural behavior into models of urbanization. Lastly, she combines these ideas to examine climate change scenarios impacts on urbanization patterns and agricultural behavior.
