Overview
I work on issues like evaluating the impacts of various interventions, monetizing the value of ecosystem services, identifying trade-offs between conservation and development, quantifying climate change mitigation costs, and promoting sustainability, with a specific emphasis on the spatial heterogeneity of impacts.
My current projects revolve around the following interlinked topics:
Impact of voluntary market-based interventions
Promoting conservation and development in working lands (including supply-chain interventions)
Protected areas
Institutions (the establishment of property rights, decentralization and devolution of natural resource management rights, community managed resources).
For prospective doctoral students
Students, interested in working with me, need to gain admission into the doctoral program at AEDE first.
