Research

My current research relates to:

  • the social costs of warmer temperatures, especially for health
  • the adaptation response of households
  • the uneven distribution of exposure to extreme heat and of access to adaptation
  • the (unintended) effects of public policies on how socio-economic outcomes respond to temperature
