Research Summary

Research focus is on the design of economic incentives for managing environmental externalities. A second interest is integrated assessment for environmental decision making. Applications address water resources, agri-environmental policy and climate change. Current research projects examine economic and policy design issues for nutrient pollution and stormwater management as well as integrated assessment models for climate change.
