Michael Margolis (Ph.D., University of Wyoming, 2000) earned his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Wyoming, where he assisted in research on nonmarket valuation and auction mechanisms. He taught for two years at Bates College while completing his dissertation, which advanced the welfare analysis of trade in goods produced from natural resources without clear owners. He then returned to Wyoming for a year of empirical research into demand for food safety and the sale of timber rights. As a Fellow at Resources for the Future, he is continuing his research into trade and the environment, especially trade between rich and poor nations. This includes empirical investigations related to his dissertation theory, more work on food safety standards, and the analysis of trade as a vector for invasive species.
