| | My research applies quantitative methods to study the design and evaluation of policy instruments for the conservation of natural resources. Topics I work on include the management of marine populations and habitats, land-use, biodiversity conservation, invasive species management, provision of ecosystem services, and the design of market based policies, such as individual fishing quota systems. Tools I employ include optimal control theory, differential equations, and constrained optimization techniques, household surveys, spatial statistics, and time series and cross-sectional econometric techniques.
