Research:

Dayton Lambert’s research focus is on the development of models to understand the dynamics of spatial economies, trends demographic migration, industry clustering, and business location decisions as they pertain to rural economic development in the Southeastern states. In addition to his applied research, he teaches an undergraduate class in rural economic development. Dr. Lambert has worked on issues relating to the Conservation Reserve Program, the adoption of conservation and precision agriculture technologies, and the relationship between entrepreneurial activity and community growth.

Areas of Professional Interest:

• Rural Economic Development
• Regional Economics
• Location Theory
• Spatial Econometrics
