Associate Professor

  • Department of Property and Law

How can real property, land use, infrastructures, property development, and urban development lay the foundations for value creation and business development that in turn can contribute to people's good lives? How do institutional arrangement such as laws, planning and decision-making processes, which among others provide the framework for collective action, affect the distribution of benefits and burdens? These are some of the questions that intrigue me as a researcher.
