RESEARCH INTRODUCTION

I use game theory and economic experiments to design and test novel economic mechanisms with applications in public economics and resource and environmental economics. 

Currently, I am focusing on the design of voluntary provision mechanisms for local and global public goods (e.g., international cooperation negotiations on climate change), environmental markets for carbon allowances and credits (offsets), water markets, and the mechanisms for fishery management and the value realization of various ecological products.
