SILVIA FERRINI

Lecturer in ECONOMICS

ONE PAGE SUMMARY Research: My research is at the intersection of applied statistics, economics and natural science. I am interested in answering environmental policy questions using quantitative information and statistical methodologies grounded in economic, ecology or environmental theory. Examples of my work are: developing methods for valuing multiple ecosystem services, estimating the value of travel time for environmental valuation, analysing the impact of environmental policies, integrated land use analysis, land and marine biodiversity conservation and assessment of water catchment management strategies. Teaching: Since 2004, I have served as course and module leader for graduate and undergraduate course at the University of Siena, University College London, University of East Anglia and University of Oregon. My main field of teaching is environmental and ecological economics, methods for environmental valuation and principal of statistics/econometrics. Details of these courses can be found in the attached long CV. Publications: In recent years I have published in both specific interest outlets (e.g. Water Resources Research, Waste management) and in top environmental economic journals (e.g. Environmental and Resource Economics, Ecological Economics, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Land Economics). According to Google Scholar my work has been cited 913 times, with an h-index of 8 and a RG score of 17.80 (last update: 06/2017). I have papers in preparation and under review. Policy impact: My work has significant impact on policy making. For instance, I have served as lead authors of one chapter of the UK National Ecosystem Assessment Follow-On. My work on estimating the value of time for recreation has been used by the UK Office of National Statistics to derive the most up to date estimates of Natural Capital. The study on “Stalls market in the Miracle square and the propensity to buy of tourists” has been used by the Pisa city council to support the urban regeneration plan. I also act as advisor for international and national projects on coastal management decision making, water regulation actions and biodiversity conservation. Funding: I am currently contributing as member of the economic research team to the EU Natural capital accounting project (award: £40,000 DG-ENV). In the past years I contributed as member in two international projects the “Social and Environmental Economic Research into Multi-Objective Land Use Decision Making” (award: £1,700,000 by ESRC) and “Financialisation, economy, society and sustainable development” (award Euro 7,900,000 by EU 7F). I have experience in research grants preparation and management and currently involved in a research proposal under review. Enterprise&Engagement As a recognised expert in valuation, I have been an advisor for different national and international organizations on water management, cultural services, biodiversity conservation policies and coastal management plans. Among the others the collaboration with the UK government centre –Cefas-has been particularly fruitful to consolidate the collaboration between natural scientists and economists.

PERSONAL DATA

Born in Siena 27th October 1975 Italian citizen. Married with three children

EDUCATION

After a degree in environmental economics I realized the relevance of data for answering environmental problems.

For this reason I successfully pursued a PhD in Applied statistics. My PhD thesis analyses research methods

(experimental designs) and estimation models (discrete choice model) which improve the standard of environmental

economics survey techniques. This work integrates the practice of statistics with the economic theory to improve the

assessment of environmental issues (e.g. water and air quality). One chapter of my thesis was published in the

Journal of Environmental Economics and Management in 2007. In 2010 I received the Elsevier award for the top-

10 most cited research paper in the period 2005-2009.

Ph.D. Applied Statistics, University of Florence (Italy) April 2005. Dissertation (in Italian): Stated Preference Method: experimental designs and random utility models. (Supervisors: R. Berni and R. Scarpa)

Degree (B.A.) in Environmental Economics, University of Siena (Italy) Nov. 1999. Honors: Summa

cum Laude. Thesis (in Italian): Contingent Valuation: theory, method and the case study of the railway Colle-Poggibonsi. (Supervisors: M. Franzini and M. Di Matteo).

RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am interested in answering policy questions using quantitative information and statistical methodologies grounded

in economic, environmental or ecological theory. In my research experience, I have successfully collaborated with

epidemiologists, geographers, scientists, hydrologists and economists. My main field of research are:

Environmental and ecological economics, economic valuation techniques, discrete choice models, experimental designs, simulation methods, welfare economics, costs-benefits analysis, decision-making and public policy, ecosystem services and accounting.

ENTERPRISE & ENGAGEMENT

During my career I have developed interdisciplinary skills and interest for inter- and intra- disciplinary research applying statistical methods and econometrics approaches to different fields (e.g. water management, biodiversity conservation). I successful collaborate to national wide research (UK or Italy) and to broader international context (e.g. developing countries and whole European Union). As a recognised expert in valuation, I have been an advisor for water management decision making, cultural services, transport facilities, biodiversity conservation policies and coastal management plans. Particularly fruitful it has been the collaboration with Cefas which strengthen the cooperation between natural scientists and economists on coastal and marine ecosystem services research especially through the new CCSUS (the new centre established between UEA and Cefas).
