Research
Her research has focused on estimating the value of health benefits, particularly increases in life expectancy and reductions in the risk of chronic illnesses, that are associated with improvements in air and water quality due to environmental regulations. She has also studied road safety, assessing how the value of health benefits should vary over the life course, the impact of electric power reforms in India, and the impact of climate change on migration.[1][2][3]
