About
I am an Associate Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the LBJ School of Public Affairs and, by courtesy, in the Department of Economics at the University of Texas at Austin. I am also a research affiliate of the Cornell Institute for China Economic Research (CICER). In 2022-3, I was a Visiting Scholar at the Belfer Center at the Harvard Kennedy School.
I am an applied microeconomist examining the relationship between environmental outcomes, urban and energy policies and inequality. Much of his work consists in trying to think about how policies and individual decisions have implications for levels of pollution through outcomes home electricity usage or commuting using personal vehicles. I have worked at understanding the economic effects of tolling, subway expansion and carbon capture and storage technology in the US and China.
