Research

Broadly speaking, Yoko's research interest is in the field of environmental and natural resource economics. Her methodological approach can be best characterised as applied microeconomics. Through the application of theoretical models, simulation exercises, and recent advances in system dynamics, her research aims at generating policy implications that are relevant to pressing environmental policy issues. Yoko has been an active participant in multi-disciplinary research projects. She is currently working with system dynamics scholars on a dynamic ecological-economic model. More specifically, Yoko's current research areas are waste management and recycling, ecological economic systems with endogenous population and natural resource stocks, and discount rates for long-term environmental policies.
