La Croix’s research focuses on the economic history of Hawai‘i and Australia, institutional change and property rights in the Asia-Pacific region, and climate change and electric vehicles. He is associate editor of Asia-Pacific Economic History Review and the President of the Economic History Society of Australia and New Zealand. Sumner’s book, Hawai‘i: Eight Hundred Years of Political and Economic Change, was published by University of Chicago Press in 2019.
