I first started to give meticulous attention to environmental economics when I started to work on my undergraduate dissertation. My advisor gave me the opportunity to research on Environmental Kuznets Curve for pollutants and causes of global warming, which later got published in Energy Policy, Elsevier. I even got more excited when I practically observed how economic practice can result in forest development or exploitation by researching on indigenous Khasi community of Bangladesh who depends only on Betel leaf culture for their livelihood. Knowledge of these researches further increased my thirst to research on the economics of natural resources.

I entered into the realm of Environmental Science through my admission at the undergraduate level in the Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences under the University of Chittagong, Bangladesh. This is considered the best higher learning educational institution for environmental science in the country. I finished the undergraduate page of my academic repertoire with 3.48 on a scale of 4.00. My undergraduate course curriculum (total 192 credits) was balanced with courses of Microeconomic Theory and Econometrics like Principles of Economics, Environmental Resource Economics, Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry, Analytical Geometry and Calculus, Statistics, Research Methodology, and several other related courses that will help me in the pursuit of graduate study in environmental economics. I secured more than 70% marks in almost all the courses. Currently, I am working on “willingness to pay for living without waste pollution”. Through this research, I am trying to acquire comprehensive knowledge of the valuation technique which, I believe, will help me in my desired study.

I wish to continue my research on the economics of energy; more precisely, wood-based bioenergy. I would like to research remodeling the valuation approaches of those resources to make it more apposite and just. My tentative targets would be-
a. Facilitation of forest resource management for the diverse environments using quantitative tools.
b. Determination of a policy that best minimizes both environmental and economic loss while using key forest resources.
c. How will the market behave when a certain forest resource policy is introduced?

It will be of most help in making sustainable policy for my country’s forest resources. Being a resourceful developing country overburdened with a huge population, Bangladesh needs to utilize its resources with the highest efficiency. I hope to contribute to the country’s natural resource management plan with my expertise after I am done with my graduate study. The application of my research will also have an impact on gauging the world’s natural resources outside my country.

My research intention is to learn so that I can spread it. I dream to become a faculty member in a university where I can continue my research and teaching. To attain my goal, I need to make myself more efficient in my doctoral study which can be attained by working in an amicable environment, with obliging colleagues and extensive academic resources along with my perseverance. I believe, School of Forest Resources is the appropriate graduate school for me, as it provides all of the above including superior education from the highly qualified faculty members in the field of natural resource economics. Here, I wish to receive an education that will give me both the technical skills and the intellectual discipline to fulfill my dream of becoming a perfect researcher and a teacher. My interest in resource economics drove me to get involved in a number of relevant researches. I wish to continue along the same route if I get the chance at the University of Arkansas at Monticello.
