Research Areas

Environmental Innovation: 

Exploring a variety of mechanisms is key to promoting environmental change in firms. My research examines how regulation (e.g., e-waste laws), disruption (e.g., spills) and coordination (e.g., nudges) approaches drive environmental product and process innovation.

Digital Circular Economy:

An inadvertent outcome of mass consumerism is ubiquitous surplus. My research examines online B2B (e.g., MNExchange), P2P (e.g., Uber) and C2C (e.g., Craigslist) channels for facilitating exchanges of surplus capacity, materials and waste.

Climate and Business:

Recent events have shown that the climate threat to operations and supply chains is real. My research investigates the impact of extreme weather events (e.g., droughts, floods, hurricanes) on firm-level outcomes such as productivity and innovation.
