Innovation of Institutional Rules in the Governance of Common Resources
Management of shared or "common pool" resources - like shared grazing or fishing grounds -- is a hard problem. The possibility that some parties will overconsume, pollute or otherwise damage the resource as they extract their personal value from it is always present. To date, researchers have identified basic principles for how humans organize themselves to govern common resources, but these are mostly static principles.

Influenza in Mexico
Description:
Little is known about the mortality and morbidity impact of seasonal and pandemic influenza in Mexico. In this project, we plan to build a model for evaluating vaccination strategies for pandemic influenza in Mexico, tailored to the Mexican demographic and epidemiologic situation.
