Summary
Allan Victor Kneese (5 April 1930, Fredericksburg, Texas - 14 March 2001) was a pioneer in what came to be called environmental economics.[1] He worked at Resources for the Future from 1961 onwards. He earned a master's degree from the University of Colorado, and a Ph.D. in 1956 from Indiana University.[2]
Kneese' research focussed on the integration of environmental pollution in economic models,[2] and on the use of economic incentives to encourage environmental improvements.[3]
Kneese was the first president of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, and was a founding editor of the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management and Water Resources Research. With John V. Krutilla, he was the inaugural winner of the Volvo Environment Prize in 1990.[2]
