His research spans the fields of public policy analysis, environmental politics, and international development, and examines the conditions under which environmental policy reforms and interventions lead to changes in environmental conservation, policy responsiveness, public participation, and human well-being. Much of his current work seeks to understand how policy reforms can alleviate environmental inequalities. To these ends, his work uses a variety of approaches, including quantitative methods, lab-in-the-field experiments, and randomized field trials of interventions.
