About Me: I am an applied microeconomist, whose interests lie in the nexus of Industrial Organization, Environmental Economics, Public Policy, and Regulation. My work broadly focuses on innovation, externalities, and the role of public policy. Most of my research focuses on the interaction between technology and policy. I have completed studies on streaming music, digital piracy, and bundled media content, but also on eco-labeling, environmental policy, investment/development of clean technology, and the effects of regulatory oversight on firm behavior.
