Research from Dr. John Whitehead, a Professor of Economics at Appalachian State University's Walker College of Business, was cited in an article by Michigan State University's Spartan News Room.
Whitehead is involved in economic studies at App State and beyond and is a nationally recognized expert in environmental economics.
The Spartan article, "Great Lakes fishing brings in buckets of fish and money," uses Whitehead's findings, as published in the Journal of Great Lakes Research, to highlight the surprising economic benefit of fishing in the region.
