I've provided links to each publication at the journal site. If you do not have access, and you'd like a journal reprint, please email me ([email protected]) and I'd be happy to provide you with a pdf of any published article listed here. Otherwise, check out the preprint version.
My google scholar and ORCID pages, which are oftentimes more up-to-date than this page.
I also believe that people understand theory better when they can handle and manipulate it. I'm working to make this possible for the theory I have a part in developing. As a start, I am making my code available for the work found in my papers. My github site is where you can find this code. Code specific to each study is linked next to the publication. I'll update the site with more interesting models in the future.
