Research Interests

My research is on the intersection of economics, environmental science and innovation studies. Past work includes dematerialization and recycling, ecological-economic modelling, construction of aggregate indicators, growth versus environment, and spatial-international aspects of environmental policy. Work in recent years involves evolutionary economics, environmental innovation, energy transitions, and economic analysis of climate policy.
