Assistant Professor of Economics, Iowa State University
I am an environmental and natural resource economist with a focus on the economics of U.S. water quality policy. My research investigates both surface water quality (e.g., lakes, rivers, and streams) and drinking water quality. Informed by economic theory, I utilize modern econometric methods and integrated assessment models to answer critical, applied research questions in this domain. My work also contributes to the literature in non-market valuation surrounding climate change, local air pollution, and infectious disease.
