Energy, Natural Resources, and the Environment

James L. Sweeney, Co-Director
Lawrence H. Goulder, Co-Director

The Energy, Natural Resources, and the Environment Program (ENREP), directed by James Sweeney, professor of management science and engineering, and Lawrence Goulder, Shuzo Nishihara Professor in Environmental & Resource Economics, conducts research in three areas of energy and the environment: environmental consequences of economic activity associated with energy production and use; the restructuring or deregulation of energy markets, particularly electricity markets; and the use of economic instruments to control environmental harms. ENREP researchers have been actively involved in cap and trade evaluations, resource costs, CAFE standards, and electricity deregulation.
