He also works on theories of economic growth and low-carbon transport. His research has been published in journals such as the American Economic Review, Science, the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Nature Climate Change, Environmental and Resource Economics, Economics Letters, Macroeconomic Dynamics, Global Environmental Change and Transportation Research Part D.
