Research Statement
David’s research focus on policy design and program administration, with an emphasis on regulatory policies and programs. The empirical foci of this research include organic food regulation in the U.S., child welfare services, special districts, and self-governance among climbers. Theoretically, his work sits at the nexus of, and contributes to, a variety of theoretical traditions, including: policy process theory, public administration and management theory, theories of regulatory governance, nonprofit theory, and institutional theory. Among the questions that David's research pursues are:
- What are the benefits and hazards of regulation through "alternative" regulatory arrangements, such as certification, third-party verification, and voluntary programs? What are the implications for program fidelity and integrity under such "alternative" regulatory arrangements?
- How does public program structure (e.g. centralization, privatization) impact public service performance and service equity?
- What are the consequences of private power/influence in submunicipal governance (i.e. through special districts) for other governments and citizens?
- How does the changing social, technological, and institutional landscape of contemporary climbing impact the tradition of self-governance among climbers, what are climbers' responses, and what are the consequences for climbers and other natural resource stakeholders?
