Pattanayak, PhD, Fellow in environment, health, and development research, is a senior economist with more than 15 years of experience in developing and applying practical methods for non-market valuation, evaluating ecosystem services provided by forest conservation, and conducting economic analyses of environmental epidemiology.

He also coordinates RTI's working paper series and seminar series in environmental and natural resource economics. |
