Biography

My research focuses primarily on evaluating the economy-wide impacts of environmental change and regulation and the use of applied general equilibrium models to address these problems. I have written about international trade and regulatory responses to climate change, about environmental taxation and fiscal reform, about how to model the demand for environmental quality and health in economy-wide benefit-cost assessments, and human migration in response to environmental change.

I teach courses in both the undergraduate economics program and the Mineral and Energy Economics master’s and PhD programs on environmental and resource economics, computational economics, and microeconomic theory.

I completed a PhD in Economics at the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2003. Subsequently, I held a postdoctoral fellowship at the Center for Environmental and Resource Economics Policy at North Carolina State University from 2003 to 2005. I am also a proud graduate of Wesleyan University where I completed BA in Mathematics-Economics.

Prior to joining Mines, I held faculty positions at Williams College and the University of Calgary.
