Jarron VanCeylon

Jarron VanCeylon is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics. His research focuses on environmental justice, non-market valuation, residential sorting, and public goods. He examines how individuals and communities value environmental amenities, how environmental policies affect disadvantaged groups, and how environmental benefits and burdens are distributed across society.

His work investigates how political preferences, housing markets, and historical policies (e.g., redlining) shape demand for environmental goods like greenspace and clean air, as well as the equity implications of conservation programs and climate adaptation. Using methods such as hedonic pricing, spatial econometrics, and household sorting models, he evaluates the societal and ecological impacts of policy designs, with applications to climate migration, urban gentrification, and conservation benefit distribution. He teaches courses in environmental economics, microeconomics, and policy, emphasizing valuation techniques, equity, and the real-world consequences of environmental decision-making.
