Research

I am an applied microeconomist with a specialization in environmental economics. In addition, I do research in the area of health and public economics. My primary area of expertise is in survey design, valuation methods, and attitudinal analysis. Recent topic areas of research included invasive weeds and ranching, forest management preferences, and water.
