Research Summary
I am interested in urban, real estate, and housing economics topics. In particular, my research has mainly focused on the effect of externalities on housing markets and on the impact of the built environment on health and productivity. Currently, I am involved in a number of projects looking at the effect of indoor air quality on pupils' academic performance, how maintaining a healthy diet and physical activity can mediate this effect, and the extent to which schools' infrastructures shield pupils from outdoor pollutants. Other, undergoing projects involve compensations from externalities and the housing market and the impact of community formation on neighbourhood improvement.
