Interests:
I am an applied microeconomist and applied econometrician whose research primarily focuses on environmental and public economics issues. Much of my research has centered on non-market valuation methods used to estimate the benefits of environmental and other public goods, with special attention on mechanism design and validity issues related to survey-based valuation methods. Other research areas include environmental pollution control instruments, regulatory compliance, and public goods provision. Under an IRS contract, I currently am examining interactions between taxpayer services (e.g. form assistance) and personal income tax reporting.
