Overview

Background

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Economics at the University of Queensland. I am primarily an experimental economist with interests in environmental economics and behavioural economics. My research focuses on three broad themes. First, how to improve compliance with environmental regulations. Second, decision making in complex environments. Third, environmental auctions.
