Jeffrey Czajkowski
Jeffrey Czajkowski is the Travelers Research Fellow at the Risk Management and Decision Process Center at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, on leave from his position as an assistant professor of economics at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. His primary research fields are the economics of natural hazards and environmental economics. Much of his specific research to date has focused on economic decision making in the presence of an environmental disaster (i.e., the dynamic decision to evacuate from a hurricane), modeling the fatality risk associated with hurricane landfalls, and the economic valuation of environmental goods via revealed and stated preference techniques.
His research has been published in natural hazards and environmental economics journals. In addition to his research, he teaches environmental and natural resource economics, urban economics, international trade, principles of economics, intermediate microeconomics, and economics and business research. He’s also worked in New York City as a research associate for Coopers & Lybrand Consulting and a vice-president for JP Morgan.
In September 2009, he was recognized as an International Hurricane Research Center adjunct assistant research professor, and was awarded two associated National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/Florida Hurricane Alliance research grants to continue his hurricane research efforts.
