My publications have been in journals such as Energy Economics, Ecological Economics, Environmental and Resource Economics, Energy Policy, Applied Energy, the Energy Journal, the Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, the Economic Record, the Australian Journal of Public Administration, and the Journal of Cleaner Production. I am interested in policy development to reduce inequality and improve cost-effectiveness, such as through equitable reverse auctions.
