Speaker: David Anthoff is an envi­ron­men­tal econ­o­mist who stud­ies cli­mate change and envi­ron­men­tal pol­icy. He co-develops the inte­grated assess­ment model FUND that is used widely in aca­d­e­mic research and in pol­icy analy­sis. His research has appeared in the Jour­nal of Envi­ron­men­tal Eco­nom­ics and Man­age­ment, Envi­ron­men­tal and Resource Eco­nom­ics, the Oxford Review of Eco­nomic Pol­icy and other aca­d­e­mic jour­nals. He con­tributed a back­ground research paper to the Stern Review and has advised numer­ous orga­ni­za­tions (includ­ing US EPA and the Cana­dian National Round Table on the Envi­ron­ment and the Econ­omy) on the eco­nom­ics of cli­mate change.
