I study environmental and natural resource economics. My work spans multiple areas, including land-use change, natural resource management under climate change, non-market valuation, and the design of environmental policy instruments. My research uses applied econometric and microeconomic tools to model private decisions regarding the use and value of land, with applications towards ecosystem service provision, conservation science, natural capital, forestry, and climate change adaptation.

“This study shows that climate change is already reducing the value of western forests,” said David Lewis, a natural resource economist at Oregon State. “This isn’t a hypothetical future effect.
