Welcome! ​I am an economist, and I study environmental and resource problems. My research focuses on understanding the distributional effects of regulations, property rights and institutions, as well as the political economy of environmental and natural resource policy. Applications include ambient air pollution, rights-based management of marine fisheries, and climate change.
