Broad area of research is Resource and Environmental Economics. Major contributions are in the field of Energy demand modeling. The field of application ranges from Non renewables to Renewable resources, urban to rural problems. The bias is more towards industry sector and econometric model building, statistical analysis especially for deriving policy implication for developing countries with special reference to the Indian economy. Data base ranging from primary data from field survey to secondary data and macro data such as input-output tables have been used at various stages of research and publications. Focus of current research is more towards Economic and Social Dimensions of Climate Change, Water resource management and multidisciplinary research on sustainable development, Risks and Vulnerabilities in Coastal Ecosystems, social embedding of new innovation.
