Welcome. My name is Dean, I am a fourth-year PhD candidate in Applied Economics at Cornell University. I am an applied micro-economist particularly interested in policy relevant research that addresses big questions about climate change. Currently, I study if carbon and energy policies actually work and for whom. I am working with a state agency on an experiment to study the effectiveness of subsidies for heat pump adoption. I also use causal inference tools in another project to study the effects of local carbon policies on emissions and energy use.
