Publications related to EfD by H.J. Albers
Heidi J. Albers (Jo) is Professor of Applied Economics in the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society at Oregon State University in the U.S. She collaborates with EfD in Tanzania in the areas of forest, marine, and wildlife conservation and management.
Jo’s research focuses on management at the intersection of resource conservation and rural poverty. Methodologically, Jo’s research typically develops empirically-inspired spatial and temporal decision models that include characteristics of both the socioeconomic and ecological setting. Her current research in Tanzania includes integrating poverty-alleviation projects, their locations, and enforcement activities together for better forest management and rural livelihoods; improving REDD implementation through appropriate incentives; and spatial allocations of projects and management to improve marine protected area outcomes.
