In 2018, the Foundation supported the launch of the National Bureau of Economic Research’s Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy (EEPE) initiative. This initiative aims to encourage energy economists to produce policy-relevant research that is more directed at decision-makers than traditional scholarly work in the field. EEPE is led by Matt Kotchen at Yale University, along with steering community members Tatyana Deryugina at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign, and Jim Stock at Harvard University. Having been successful in its first few years, the EEPE initiative has been renewed for three years and is expanding to include a postdoctoral fellowship. Research will be presented at an annual conference and published in a volume by the University of Chicago Press. Many of the intended topics of study have an equity dimension, while future topics will include a number with an explicit focus on environmental justice. The grant will also provide funding for an early-career scholar to conduct policy-relevant research, helping to solidify the link between EEPE and policy decision-makers. The scholar will receive mentoring from staff at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s National Center for Environmental Economics, an office that performs economic analysis to inform EPA decision-making.
