As an applied economist specializing in non-market valuation and public policy analysis, my research addresses the economic and social complexities of natural resource management. Currently, I am leading the development of valuation standards for open space for the Commonwealth of Virginia. I am also continuing my previous research on wildlife management policies like impact of CWD (Chronic waste disease) in Deer, public support on Waston Waste Laws in Indiana, Social license to operate (SLO) hunting and trapping in Indiana etc.
