About Zack

I am passionate about research in the areas of behavioural and environmental economics and am currently Deputy Director of the Waikato Experimental Economics Laboratory (WEEL).  My research focuses on individual behaviours in relation to environmental and resource management, with additional applied work relating to climate and freshwater policy within the agriculture sector. I also apply my research methods to work in the area of health economics. I completed my PhD thesis in environmental and experimental economics at Monash University in 2018.

Research Supervised

I am always open to discussion supervising topics in environmental, experimental and agricultural economics. In the past I have supervised the following topics:

An analysis of a dairy farm feed trial.

Financial Literacy in the Agricultural Industry.
