Welcome to my homepage! I am an economist studying how individuals and societies adapt and mitigate against the impacts of climate change and environmental hazards through my consulting company, Howden Analytics LLC. I work with economists and interdisciplinary teams using economic and environmental data to answer pressing socioeconomic questions related to the environment. I use analytical tools including Stata, R, Matlab, Python, and ArcGIS, and I use GitHub as a project management tool. 

Previously, I was an Assistant Professor of Economics at Wesleyan University. Prior, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Arizona Department of Economics and the Arizona Institute for Resilience, where I organized a series of multi-disciplinary workshops on economic methods for research in environmental topics. One of the successful outcomes of these workshops is a paper (under revision at PNAS) on the impacts of PFAS groundwater contamination on infant health outcomes.
