Anna Alberini is an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Maryland. She specialize non-market valuation with a special focus on the valuation of the mortality and morbidity effects of environmental exposures, contaminated site policies, the incentives and the adverse effects of regulation and liability on the regulated entities, monitoring and enforcement of (environmental or safety) regulations, and adaptation in the area of the impacts of climate change on human health.
She is currently serving on the US EPA Science Advisory Board--Environmental Economics, and has previously served as a co-editor of the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management and as a Programme Director for Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei in Venice, Italy.
Her work has appeared in The Review of Economics and Statistics, the Journal of Risk and Uncertainty, Risk Analysis, Regional Science and Urban Economics, Journal of Urban Economics, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Environmental and Resource Economics, Ecological Economics, Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, and Contemporary Economic Policy, among others.
Alberini has a long-standing interest in the monetary valuation of mortality and morbidity risk reductions, and has conducted a number of surveys in the US, Canada, Italy, UK, France and the Czech Republic where she asked individuals to report their willingness to pay to reduce their own (or their own and others’) mortality risks for specified causes (e.g., cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, cancer and other chronic illnesses linked with contaminated site exposures). She has also examined how housing values and workers’ pay vary with the health risks at one locale and with workplace risks.
