- Dr. Shinan Nizarali Kassam: "Dr. Kassam challenged received wisdom on farm debt in post-Soviet Tajikistan by arguing that there is little difference in the standard of living between cotton and non-cotton farmers. The analysis and conclusions are applicable to how the cotton sector is organized elsewhere and to agricultural policy more broadly." (November 2011)

His thesis used laboratory studies, surveys and integrated models to examine the impacts of converting Delhi's public transportation fleet to natural gas fuel. He showed that engine type affects whether air quality and climate co-benefits are realized." (May 2011)

She re-emphasized the influence of social, economic, and political factors on the health of marine ecosystems and developed a framework to incorporate ecological effects with the values of multiple stakeholders."
