Lemoine Elected As Associate Fellow At The Center For Economic Policy Research

Derek Lemoine, associate professor of economics in the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona, was recently appointed to the position of associate fellow in the Climate Change Research and Policy Network for the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR).

The CEPR is committed to identifying and promoting the work of economists like Lemoine by providing research support and including an appropriate environment in which to enter the international research scene.

The CEPR, established in 1983, "was founded to enhance the quality of economic policy-making within Europe and beyond, by fostering high quality, policy-relevant economic research, and disseminating it widely to decision-makers in the public and private sectors," according to its website.

Lemoine joined the Eller College’s Department of Economics in 2011 after earning his PhD in Energy and Resources from the University of California, Berkeley. His areas of expertise include environmental and energy economics, climate change, technological change and decision making under uncertainty and over time. His current research combines economic theory and computational methods to better understand the dynamics of optimal environmental policy and of energy systems.
