Recent Research Interests
My research interests are: consumer decision-making, valuation of non-market goods, and environmental benefit transfer; applications of choice modeling with a focus on environmental and agricultural issues such as energy policy, food label, and lifecycle impact assessment. My current research has been motivated by an interest in the impact of a cognitive bias (a systematic error in thinking) and heterogeneous preference among different people on policy effectiveness, efficiency, distribution, and social acceptance.
