Aparna Howlader

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the School of Business and Enterprise, Chatham University in Pittsburgh. I earned my Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2019.

As an environmental and natural resource economist, I explore the intersections of land use, environmental and agricultural policy, and economic development. My work also engages with economic history, and institutional economics. Currently, my research focuses on three key areas: 

• Evolution and implications of post-Dust Bowl land policies and institutions in the USA,

• Land tenure, agriculture, and environmental challenges in developing countries, and

• Housing markets and broader land policies in the U.S.
