Expertise

Professor Walkers research focuses on the use of experimental methods in the investigation of individual and group behavior related to the provision of public goods and appropriation from common-pool resources.

My research and teaching interests fall broadly into the area of applied microeconomics, with an emphasis on applying experimental methods to the role of institutions in affecting individual and group outcomes.
