Work has focussed on the integration of microeconomic theory with classical political theory on constitutions and federalism for the analysis of outcomes to be predicted from alternative institutional arrangements. Theory development and application has emphasised the structure of governments in urban areas, law and property rights systems for coastal resource decision-making, and the operation of federal systems Current work involves comparisons between the parliamentary-federal system in Canada and the congressionalfederal system in the United States.
