Bio


Senior Fellow Emeritus, Stanford University (Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability)
Distinguished Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of California, Santa Barbara

Prof. Charles D. Kolstad, is an energy and environmental economist with a focus on energy markets, regulation, and climate change (mitigation, adaptation and impacts). (Note: Environmental Economics is the branch of economics concerned with the intersection between economic activity and the environment, broadly defined.) He has published extensively in environmental and resources economics over the past four decades, including work in understanding uncertainty, randomness and learning in climate decisions and regulation, estimating damage from climate change, coal and electricity markets, international trade and pollution havens, and tax competition. He has also authored a leading advanced economics textbook (Environmental Economics), in use worldwide and translated into Spanish, Japanese and Chinese.

Prof. Kolstad has been a Lead Author and a Convening Lead Author for the IPCC (co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize), is a founding editor of the journal Review of Environmental Economics & Policy and has served on many advisory boards. He is a former president of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (AERE).

Prof. Kolstad joined the faculty of Stanford in 2012, following a career at the University of California in Santa Barbara, and the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. At Stanford, he has been affiliated with the Department of Economics, the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research (SIEPR) and the Doerr School of Sustainability (Precourt and Woods Institutes).

Prof. Kolstad is currently Senior Fellow Emeritus at Stanford University and Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of California in Santa Barbara. He continues to write, speak, teach and conduct research.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests


My research interests are broadly in environmental economics and related areas of industrial organization and public economics. My policy-related focus within these fields is climate change and energy markets.

I currently have several projects related to uncertainty and learning in strategic contexts regarding the provision of public goods. For the most part, the application is international environmental agreements. This work is primarily theoretical, though with some empirical and experimental work to validate and illuminate theory. I also have research interests in energy economics (particularly regulation) and other dimensions of the economics of climate change.

As an emeritus faculty member, I do work with new PhD students who wish to study with me. Typically, my students train to be environmental or resource economists, which means they receive strong training in economics. Strong preparation in math is essential.
