The overall goal of this project is to better understand the advantages and limitations of air emission pollutant characterization and monitoring techniques from area sources. This will allow for the selection of current technologies that are most suitable for measuring fugitive emissions of air...

The focus of most climate change impact studies to date is on changes related to mean climate conditions. In terms of climate model output, these changes are more robust than changes in climate variability, the latter of which has considerably greater uncertainty. By concentrating on climate...

SSHRC Awarded IG 2018: In this proposed research, I provide new economic insights on the trade-offs between efficiency gains and potential social costs in two concrete cases of technological development and new regulation: central bank digital currency (CBDC) and position limits. While these are...
