About

I am an applied microeconomist with primary research focus in environmental, natural resource and development economics. I apply econometrics and applied microeconomic theory to problems in agriculture, sustainable development, transboundary negotiations, climate change, private sector & household adaptation and marine resources. 

My current teaching includes microeconomics, development economics and applied econometrics. I also supervise undergraduate dissertations, MA/MS/MSc dissertations and PhD theses (completed: 0, on-going: 2).
