PROFILE | Margaret Walls's current research focuses on issues related to urban land use, ecosystem services, parks, and energy efficiency. She has analyzed transferable development rights programs for managing land use in urban fringe areas, assessed the value of different types of parks and open space, and investigated energy efficiency issues in buildings. In 2008-2009, she was the study director for the Outdoor Resources Review Group (see www.rff.org/orrg). In 2010, Walls became the first appointee to the Thomas J. Klutznick Chair at RFF.
Walls has published widely in peer-reviewed journals, including the Journal of Public Economics, National Tax Journal, Journal of Urban Economics, and Journal of Economic Literature, among others.
Walls was a fellow at RFF from 1987 to 1996. She then spent nearly five years in New Zealand as an associate professor of economics at Victoria University of Wellington. Walls rejoined RFF in November 2000.
