Eleanor's research considers the distributional and welfare implications of environmental and climate policies. She is particularly interested in understanding and addressing the economic impacts of such policies on low-income and other vulnerable communities, and adapting the tools of microeconomics to discover policies that promote both environmental integrity and economic mobility. She received a B.A. in political science and B.S. in environmental studies from the University of Vermont and an M.P.A. from the University of Washington. Prior to beginning her doctoral studies, she was a research assistant in the Economic Studies program at the Brookings Institution and a research consultant for the U.S. Climate Initiative at the World Resources Institute.
