Matthew Reimer, Ph.D.

My research focuses on the design and evaluation of public policies for managing natural resources. I employ a diverse set of methodological tools in my research, ranging from reduced-form and structural econometrics, to dynamic numerical analysis and simulation, integrated bioeconomic modeling, and field experiments. Recent topics include predictive models of commercial fishing behavior, retrospective evaluation of fishery policies, contributions of commercial fisheries to local economies, economic impacts of marine protected areas, policy-induced spillovers across fisheries, and decision support tools for adaptive management of marine resources.
