Research Overview

My research explores the intersection between the natural sciences, economics, and public policy and is driven by an interest in the sustainable management of living marine resources of the North Pacific. I direct graduate projects in bioeconomics, statistical inference, and policy analysis and teach courses in resource and environmental economics, econometrics and time series analysis, operations research and decision theory, fisheries law, policy analysis, and economic development for fisheries-dependent communities.
