HEEP Welcomes New Fellows

The Harvard Environmental Economics Program (HEEP) is very pleased to welcome a number of new Faculty and Pre-Doctoral Fellows. Our Faculty Fellows are actively engaged in research at the frontiers of environmental, energy, and natural resource economics and have made key breakthroughs that are relevant to public policy. They have held important positions in the President’s Council of Economic Advisors, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the World Bank, the World Health Organization, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

HEEP’s Pre-Doctoral Fellows are each pursuing degrees in one of five Harvard Ph.D. programs. In recent years, Pre-Doctoral Fellows have gone on to become faculty members at Columbia, Duke, Tufts, New York, and Tsinghua (Beijing) Universities; INSEAD and the University of Michigan; and Amherst, Dartmouth, and Colby Colleges; Fellows at Resources for the Future and Columbia University’s Earth Institute; and hold key positions in government agencies—including the White House and the U.S. Energy Information Administration—and non-governmental organizations, including the Environmental Defense Fund.
