From 1985 to 1990 he was director of Indiana's State Utility Forecasting Group. In 1999 he was team leader for the economic analysis of the White House's National Hypoxia Assessment looking at the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico. Dr. Doering has overseas experience with the Ford Foundation and the National Academy of Sciences, primarily in Southeast Asia. He has been a visiting professor at Berkeley, Cornell, and North Carolina A&T State University. He is a National Science Foundation evaluator for the NSF Industry/ University Cooperative Research Program. Dr. Doering has served on Indiana's Commission for Higher Education.

He has twice received the AAEA's Distinguished Policy Contribution Award as well as its Extension Economics Teaching Award. In a previous life he worked as a horse wrangler and a legal investigator. Professor Doering teaches "The Economic Geography of World Food and Resources" to undergraduates and the Department's research methods class to graduate students. His recent publications include a book on the 1996 Farm Bill and a book on the effects of climate change and variability on agricultural production systems. Recent publications focus on economic linkages driving the response to nitrogen over-enrichment, the rationale for U.
