Natalie Stoeckl

Biography

Natalie was born in the U.S.A (Boulder Colorado), but went to school in the U.S., New Zealand, the U.K. and Australia. After completing high school (in Canberra), she went ´walkabout´ - spending several years on a Prawn Trawler, travelling with a circus, and helping run a small silvicultural contracting business. She then started University at ANU – to find that she thoroughly enjoyed economics, academia and research. Nowadays, Natalie is perhaps best described as an economist with a keen interest in the environmental and social/distributional issues associated with economic growth - with extensive experience in a variety of non-market valuation techniques. What distinguishes her from many other economists, is her track record of collaborative cross-disciplinary research using models that combine economic, environmental and social variables to explore interactions between socio-economic and ecological systems. She has published widely in both national and international forums and supervises many (mostly multidisciplinary) research students.
