Summary
Jude Bayham is an Associate Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics at Colorado State University with eight years of academic experience and a Ph.D. from Washington State University. His research blends natural resource and environmental economics with epidemiological dynamics, notably on the economics of wildfire management and the behavioral feedbacks that alter infectious disease policy effectiveness. He has applied economic valuation to natural capital, groundwater resources, and biofuel policy, and his postdoctoral work at Yale integrated time-use data to show how neglecting human behavioral responses can misstate social distancing impacts. Based in Fort Collins, he combines rigorous empirical methods with policy-relevant modeling, often working at the intersection of ecological systems and public health. An early career start in regional economic development and applied GIS gives him practical experience translating research into local-scale decision support.
