Wiktor Adamowicz is an international expert in resource and environmental economics. His research spans many aspects of consumer behaviour, particularly with respect to environmental goods and services. He focuses on integrating the environment into economic analysis to enhance policy formation and resource management. In the context of forestry his research contributes to issues of sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation and forest policy. In the context of human health his research includes economic valuation of health risk reductions from improved environmental quality. In a broader context, his research is focused on improving the modeling of consumer behaviour given context and complexity in choice. He is a pioneer in the development of approaches to evaluating consumer choice with a combination of revealed preference and stated preference data; developments that have become the basis for economic valuation of environmental goods and services throughout the world.
