My research focuses on overcoming behavioural and political economy barriers to cooperation in the climate commons. This is tackled through a combination of theory and experiments.
Current research interests: Game theory; International environmental agreements; Experimental Economics; Cooperation; Social tipping interventions; Social norms.
