Research
Interests
My primary research interests are in economic policy,
particularly those related to regional economics and development, labor
markets, human capital, geographic and occupational mobility, and
demographic change. Secondary interests are in resource management. Most of
my publications fall into one of the following three categories:
- Regional economics
(regional, rural, and local development)
- Labor issues (human
capital, labor mobility, demographic change)
- Resource management
(amenities, planning, and energy)
News
