David Currie is an outreach associate at PERC. He edits various PERC publications, manages PERC’s social media outlets, and provides research assistance to PERC scholars. He earned a BS degree in economics from George Mason University where he also minored in English.
Raised in Virginia, David moved to Bozeman to develop his interests in environmental issues and entrepreneurship. When not studying these topics, he can be found rock climbing or hiking with his eccentric dog, Koby.
Founded 30 years ago in Bozeman, Montana, PERC—the Property and Environment Research Center—is the nation’s oldest and largest institute dedicated to improving environmental quality through property rights and markets.
PERC’s publications, each designed to resonate with specific groups, move ideas generated at PERC to broader audiences.
Research is at the heart of PERC's work, with a focus on the question: What is the link between economic growth and environmental quality?
The goal of PERC’s programs is to fully realize the vision of establishing “PERC University,” where scholars, students, policy makers, and others convene to expand the applications of free market environmentalism.
PERC's fellowships share a common goal of exposing new scholars, students, journalists, and policy makers to free market environmentalism, as well as enable scholars already familiar with FME to explore new applications.
PERC continues to publish and present a broad range of research and discussion through podcasts, videos, and other multimedia channels.
