My main research interest is environmental economics. Most of my research has been related to the design of international agreements to combat global warming, and domestic implementation of international commitments. I have studied the cost-effectiveness and distribution of burdens of varies climate policy instruments, such as emission trading and investment in the clean development mechanism (CDM). Several of my publications deal with the performance of a tradable permit market when some countries have market power.
In my ongoing work, I study varies possibilities for broadening the participation in an international climate agreement. I am also engaged in a project which evaluates the impact of the use of multiple instruments in environmental policy.
