Why is UVA toxic?
UW-Madison AAE vs U-Virginia vs U-Maryland
-
I'm at an ag program comparable-ish to Wisconsin and study env econ. Do not go to Wisconsin ag econ over Maryland. That is crazy. Yes, they have great environmental people, but you won't have the same options coming out of there that you would out of Maryland. I don't know much about UVa.

Its Wisconsin without a doubt out of those if you are sure you want to do research in environmental topics. Best group of enviro/resource people out of the options with Phaneuf placing his students quite well over time (between NC State and Wisconsin).
Maryland only has Cropper and most of their enviro folks are in the Ag department. Would be better to be in that department as you would have access to more faculty. Way easier to get access to Cropper from Ag than get access to the Ag people while in Econ.
UVA has literally one enviro person who is an AP and not really a traditional enviro economist at that (more development/public).
Location is up to you but Wisconsin would be my choice. Do be careful though as I think they are pushing toward a 4-year program, which isn't necessarily bad but it would be important to get an extra year if you can as an RA.Cropper is about 75 years old. Take that into account if you lan on working with her on your dissertation in 3 or 4 years.

If choosing AAE at the U of Wisconsin, avoid Xiaodong Du. Cannot imagine why this guy can get tenured in Madison.
He's productive and happened to coauthor a couple AJAEs with his Hennessy.
Agree with 3a71. He does not have any other field tops other than the ones coauthored with David.

Why do you name Xiaodong rather than Guanming Shi. I really cannot imagine why UW promote her as a professor. She does not have any field tops for many years. Oooooooh Gosh, she is the department chair now
lol, well at least some of the seniors in this department find her charming.

杜筱东 Sheldon Xiaodong Du 就是个坑 特别喜欢坑刚上完课第一年结束的学生 人品巨差 读博千万不要找他 能力差 品味差 一篇文章能让你把所有方法试一遍 最后文章发不出来他也不管 反正不浪费他自己时间
