Areas of Special Interest: Urban Economics, Public Economics, Transportation Economics

Early work was concentrated on theoretical developments in urban economics. Contributions on urban economics are concerned with second best land use in the presence of unpriced congestion, optimal city size, and urban dynamics. I have since worked on a variety of fields such as optimal discount rates in the presence of asymmetric information in the credit market, labor contracts with unverifiable firm-specific human capital, regulation of the urban railway industry, and electric power market.
