I am a policy scholar<\/strong> who focuses on policy issues that emerge at the intersection of governments, non-profit\/non-governmental organizations, businesses, and civil society<\/strong>.\u00a0 These not only include issues that are multi-sectoral and intergovernmental, but also issues that address the interactions between citizens and governments, such as transparency, accountability, and citizen participation.<\/p>

My current research in the area of public finance focuses on transportation and infrastructure finance<\/strong> and capital planning<\/strong>.\u00a0 My work on the motor fuel tax, state infrastructure banks, and tolling are examples of my research in a policy area that is increasingly becoming multi-sectoral and inter-governmental.<\/p>

More recently, my research has focused on government transparency<\/strong> and accountability<\/strong> to citizens, and citizen participation<\/strong> in government.\u00a0 Much of this work is related to transparency of government financial reporting and public participation in transportation finance, transportation planning, and environmental policy issues.<\/p>

I am also interested in behavioral public policy<\/strong> and behavioral public finance<\/strong><\/a>. In transportation finance, my research focuses on how drivers respond to tolls. More specifically, I study willingness to pay tolls and toll avoidance behaviors.<\/p>

I am also interested in the topic of climate change and sea level rise (SLR).\u00a0 I am interested in studying issues at the intersection of politics, policy, the public, and private interests as it relates to SLR, flooding, adaptation, and resilience<\/strong>.\u00a0 My current focus is on stakeholder engagement and adaptation readiness, with a focus on a whole-of-community, multi-sectoral approach to adaptation and resilience.<\/p>
