His publications have appeared in a range of economic, forestry, and general science journals and have won awards from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA and Harvard Business Review. In addition to his research and teaching, since the early 1990s he has actively participated in environmental economics capacity-building initiatives in developing countries (in particular, with the South Asian Network of Development and Environmental Economists, or SANDEE) and consulted regularly with the World Bank, UN FAO, and other international organizations. He also has experience directing aid-funded policy advising projects in low- and middle-income countries.
