Research Interests of Participating Faculty
Va Nee L. Van Vleck, Economics.
Dr. Van Vleck’s most recent research has focused on the
adverse effects of alcohol abuse on individuals’ incomes and likelihood
of employment.
Other current areas of research are: employment consequences of regular malt-liquor
beer consumption by young adults, particularly among blacks and Hispanics; the consequences
of the sizable uninsured population in the San Joaquin Valley on the financial performance
and capacity of the region’s health care sector (with a focus on rural hospitals); and the
effectiveness of a grassroots drunk-driving abatement program in a Central Valley city and
its potential for application in other communities. She has also published in the area of
technological networks and transportation.
Having taught in a wide variety of undergraduate settings,
including the University of the Pacific and the University of California-Davis,
Dr. Van Vleck is now a lecturer at the California State University, Fresno.
