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 (completed: 6), MA/MS/MSc dissertations (completed: 5, on-going: 2) and PhD theses (completed: 0, on-going: 1, scheduled: 2).
