Overview

About this work

Building on my background in agricultural and resource economics and regional development, I apply quantitative methods to questions about regional and economic development — for example, how the spatial structure of a metropolitan area relates to regional economic outcomes.

This work reflects a broader interest in advancing quantitative methodology within development studies.
