Edward MacMullan
Edward MacMullan has been a senior economist with ECONorthwest since 1990. He specializes in assessing the economic effects of public policies that affect natural-resource management, litigation support for antitrust, right-of-way, and healthcare cases, and in the analysis of regional economies. Before joining ECONorthwest, he was a Fulbright Scholar at the Energy Studies Unit of the University of Strathclyde where he studied the socioeconomic impacts of energy development projects in the highlands and islands of Scotland.
His recent consulting and litigation-support work includes reviewing the literature on the economics of Low-Impact Development, conducting an economic benefit-cost analysis of a conventional roof vs. a greenroof on a commercial building, assessing a potential violation of trade secrets on a telecommunications firm; identifying how the approval of a hospital's Certificate-of-Need application influences market concentration; evaluating municipal right-of-way fees challenged by telecommunications firms; and studying the economic factors associated with avoiding and complying with regional water quality regulations and county permitting processes.
Ed is also a proud recent graduate of the New Orleans School of Cooking.
