Topic Editor in Environmental Economics:

Dr. Niggol Seo is a resource economist whose major interests lie in climate change issues. He developed a new micro-econometric method to measure climate change impacts and adaptations simultaneously. The method was first applied to study African livestock management and extended to examine Latin American agriculture and African agriculture. He has published a series of papers on African livestock management. He has been involved in measuring climate change impacts on agriculture in Asia, Africa, and Latin America in collaboration with Yale University, World Bank, CEEPA in Africa, PROCISUR in Latin America, and many country scientists in Africa and Latin America. He is also making contributions to the dialogue of designing a global climate policy which is efficient and effective in controlling greenhouse gases.

He received his PhD degree from Yale University in May 2006 majoring in environmental and natural resource economics with a focus on global climate change policy. He is now working at Yale University as resource economist (research affiliate ) and research consultant to the World Bank.
