View my vita.

I investigate individual and collective decision making about housing and economic/community development. I am particularly interested in the formulation and implementation of housing and economic/community development policies within the context of intergovernmental relations. Using this framework, I concentrate on the following research areas: (1) urban politics; (2) regionalism; (3) public choice; and (4) interorganizational relationships. I also conduct research on plannning and preparedness for environmental disasters.
