Expertise
My research is in the areas of well-being assessment, environmental and natural resource accounting, dematerialization trends, and links between power inequality and health outcomes (as well as other socioeconomic variables). Most recently I am doing research on a widespread societal quantity bias, and I am tracing its origins to neoclassical economics and the advent of macroeconomic statistics mid-20th century.
My research is primarily in the areas of ecological, development, and -- most recently -- institutional economics, and I have been teaching at Adelphi since 1999.
