I am an economist and a post-doc at Yale School of the Environment. My research focuses on the microeconomics of energy and climate innovation: Who adopts new technologies and why? How can the government direct—and speed up—technical change? How do manufacturers and innovators respond to both policy and politics? I use a combination of economic modeling and causal inference to investigate these questions.
Prior to Yale, I was a research fellow at the Environmental Protection Agency where I worked on cars, including light and medium-duty vehicle rule making, and environmental justice questions. I earned my Ph.D. in Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics at Michigan State University. I also hold degrees from The University of Chicago and Carnegie Mellon University. Before graduate school, I ran a small biofuel company1 Details. in Braddock, Pennsylvania.2 Now famously the home of Senator John Fetterman who was mayor at the time.
I am on the job market. Here is my research statment, and my job market paper.
