Studies universities as macroeconomic institutions shaping growth and inequality.

My research collects behavioral data through economic experiments to test economic hypotheses. I study a wide range of topics in applied economics, including organizations, labor, political economy, and behavioral economics.

My research focuses on French colonial rule in Indochina, with particular attention to human mobility (within the colony, between the metropole and the colony, and across colonies) and environmental issues, especially forest governance.

I study water management systems in Egypt from the 13th to the 18th century, using fieldwork and textual materials to reconstruct past water management systems.

Using GIS, I examine the spatial and socioeconomic challenges facing cities and regions in the real world. In addition, I have long been involved in the development of GIS teaching materials and GIS education.
