I specialize in energy and environmental regulation, cost-benefit analysis, and the effects of regulations on innovation and economic growth. I am author of the book Regulation and Economic Growth: Applying Economic Theory to Public Policy. My writing has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post. I have published in scholarly journals, including Regulation & Governance, Contemporary Economic Policy and PLOS ONE. I received my PhD in economics from George Mason University and my BA and MA in economics from Hunter College of the City University of New York.
