My research is vitally linked to my teaching. My training is in economic development, international economics, political economy, international relations, and Latin American studies. My current emphasis is on good governance as related to industrial, technology, and environmental policy. I would put myself more broadly into the comparative public policy field. I have an ongoing interest in development policies to improve competitiveness through building the capacity of the public sector. I train students who are well-versed in politics and economics, and able to pick up an area of technical specialization with policy relevance such as energy, education, or environment. I therefore seek out collaboration in key issue areas with researchers, policymakers, and the private sector, hoping to help solve policy problems. I use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, and have extensive field research experience in the South. In Summer 2018, I helped to form the Clean Energy Research Group, including academics and practitioners. We work to study and promote transitions in remote communities from diesel to renewable energy. As of Summer 2019, I am working on developing a new interdisciplinary program designed to give students an edge in tech-based competencies, to help them to secure better jobs. I see myself as a public intellectual, and have regular interviews and publications in media outlets. I have prepared a number of policy briefs and technical reports for policymakers. ______Publications (All Refereed works noted by *)
