ABOUT ME: I am an Assistant Professor in the AAE Department at University of Wisconsin – Madison. My research interests are primarily in the area of environmental and natural resource economics, with an emphasis on the distributional effects of regulations, property rights and institutions. My current work studies the effects of environmental regulations on different demographic groups, the political economy of environmental policies, and the economic and ecological effects of rights-based management in marine fisheries. At Wisconsin I teach Environmental Economics at the undergraduate and graduate levels. If you’d like to know more, my CV is here (pdf).
