Dr. Geoghegan received a B.A. from Queens College, City University of New York in 1987, an M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1989 and 1995, respectively. She has been at Clark since 1996 and is also affiliated with the Marsh Institute and the program in Environmental Science and Policy. Current Research and TeachingDr. Geoghegan teaches all of the environmental and natural resource economics at the undergraduate (ECON 157, ECON 257) and graduate level (ECON 357). She also teaches the introductory course in economics (ECON 10) and intermediate microeconomic theory (ECON 205). Dr. Geoghegan's research focuses on developing spatially explicit econometric models of land use change using Geographical Information System (GIS) data and technology. She is associated with two large research projects on this topic. The first project, based at the University of Maryland, investigates the effects on land values and suburbanization of different government policies concerning smart growth and agricultural land preservation. The second project, SYPR, is based at Clark University. Here Dr. Geoghegan collaborates with Geography professor B. L. Turner on the causes and effects of tropical deforestation by smallholder farmers in southern Mexico. For more information, go to the SYPR Project or Active Learning and Research.
