Current Research

My research is primarily concerned with public law, broadly defined, which I approach from a law and economics perspective. I am currently working on issues involving the influence of public law on private actors, specially examining the significance of constitutional protection for property rights. I also have a particular interest in Indigenous peoples' rights and environmental and resource management.
