Aloha! I am a Professor in the Department of Economics, University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO), and Sea Grant at UH Manoa. My research focuses on effects of agricultural policies, impacts of climate change on agriculture, commodity pricing, renewable energy, water, and experimental economics. I enjoy interdisciplinary research and publish in both science and economics journals. I have served on several editorial boards for several leading agricultural, environmental and resource economics journals, most recently as Co-Editor at the Journal of Association of Environmental and Resource Economics. Before moving to Hawai`i, I was an Assistant and Associate Professor at North Carolina State University and worked as an Economist for USDA's Economic Research Service.

Check out research and commentary at the blogs I contribute to:

Grains to Gigawatts (personal blog) (Grains to Gigawatts).

Global Food, Environment and Economic Dynamics (G-FEED).

Governing Green Power (GovGreen).

UHERO Energy Policy and Planning (UHERO-EPP).
