His work often involves the design, construction and use of large-scale intertemporal general equilibrium models.

He is also coauthor of G-Cubed, an eight-region, twelve-sector general equilibrium model of the world economy, that has been used to study international trade and environmental policies. In addition, he is a coauthor of a graduate-level textbook on general equilibrium modeling. Many of his recent publications have focused on national and international policies to control climate change.
