Research
Professor Ando works primarily on problems of species and land conservation, including the optimal reserve-site selection problem and understanding the relationship between private and public conservation activity. That work has produced publications in outlets such as Science, the Journal of Law and Economics, the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Land Economics, Ecological Economics, and Resource and Energy Economics. She has also studied other topics related to environmental policy and political economy such as: enforcement of natural resource damage liability statutes; the determinants of household recycling behavior and rain-barrel adoption; and the welfare effects of ethanol policy.
Outreach
Ando serves on the editorial boards of Land Economics and the American Journal of Agricultural Economics and has served on several major review panels for multidisciplinary grant competitions at the NSF. She has participated in expert advisory workshops for the Environmental Protection Agency and the USDA. In service to the national conservation community, Ando has served on the program committee for the Wildlife Habitat Policy Research Program and the Environment Programs' Habitat Advisory Committee for the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. In Illinois, Ando works to help inform stormwater management policies in the City of Chicago.
