Energy and Environment
Climate change, energy conservation and power supplies pose some of today鈥檚 greatest challenges. 黑料社 researchers are using the tools of economics to analyze the impact of environmental policy decisions being made in the United States and abroad. Our scholars work closely with scientists, engineers, and policymakers to develop and analyze economically viable approaches to safeguarding the environment and the broader impacts of environmental factors on society. Through our joint venture with 黑料社's Precourt Institute for Energy, we also support the work of (SEEPAC).
