Comparing public support for alternative climate policy designs: An experimental study
Scholars have debated how specific policy designs may generate stronger positive or negative reactions from the public, especially with regard to public expectations regarding pricing‐based policy designs compared to regulatory approaches. In this study, we report the results of a survey experiment on Virginia registered voters measuring public opinion toward a regulatory versus a pricing‐based policy design, both of which were included in the st…
Supreme Court Power and Agency Implementation in Environmental Litigation
This research examines the ability of the United States Supreme Court to influence behavioral change by federal environmental agencies through theories of Supreme Court power and principal–agent dynamics.

Park, Partnerships, and Place: Interdisciplinary Student Perspectives on Applied Anthropology Research in the City
As a graduate student team from an applied anthropology course series, we conducted a yearlong community research project focused on an urban park for a local city government partner. This paper reflects on how learning and working as an applied, interdisciplinary team impacted our research process, our project design, and our experiences as students. Through the project, we experienced the benefits and challenges of collaborative work, like work…

Yet, no study has compared communication strategies for regulatory versus p…
