Nick Muller joined the Economics faculty as an assistant professor in the fall of 2007. He completed his dissertation at Yale University in May of 2007, where his advisors included Robert Mendelsohn, William Nordhaus, and Nathaniel Keohane. His dissertation focused on using integrated assessment models to measure the damages from air pollution in the United States, and to propose alternative market-based policies intended to govern the criteria air pollutants. Dr. Muller also attended the School of Public and Environmental Affairs where he studied environmental policy and law in pursuit of a master’s degree in public administration. His current research includes the use of non-parametric regression techniques to interpolate air pollution readings, measuring the damages due to emissions from each industry in the U.S. economy, and employing hedonic property models to value public water bodies. His research has been published in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Environmental Science & Technology, and the Social Science Research Network.
