According to the August 11 announcement by Provost Mary C. Boyce,  "the grant programs support faculty in developing innovative and technology-rich pedagogies and learning strategies for Columbia courses and beyond. The grants will help assess the effectiveness of new educational methods and tools, and illuminate strategies to improve learning outcomes for Columbia students across disciplines."

His primary research areas are political economics, industrial organization, and public economics, with a particular focus on lobbying activities: how they are organized and undertaken, and their effects on policymaking and regulatory outcomes. His peer-reviewed research has been published in academic journals of economics and political science.
