About

I am an applied microeconomist working on issues at the intersection of conservation and agri-environmental economics. My research focuses on how people interact with the natural and built environment, and what human behavior reveals about the value of ecosystem services.

My interests include natural resource economics, causal inference, geographical analysis, machine learning, and applied econometrics.
