Research spans two interconnected domains: (1) Natural capital and land use in ecosystems like Newfoundland’s moose-forest dynamics and China’s Grain for Green Program; (2) Behavioral economics of pandemics, including social distancing, mask mandates, and risk compensation.
Recent publications highlight methodological rigor in analyzing policy impacts. 2025 studies examine earthquake-induced deforestation and water pollution spillovers in China. Earlier works (2023–2017) explore ecological interactions, afforestation trade-offs, and infectious disease economics.
