Research Description
Joseph S. Shapiro investigates the efficiency and effectiveness of environmental and energy policy. This agenda covers two main research areas: pollution, regulation, and trade; and defenses against environmental externalities. He has studied the interactions of trade policy and environmental policy, the effects of current tariffs and non-tariff barriers on greenhouse gas emissions, the U.S. Clean Water Act, cap-and-trade markets for air pollution, adaptation to climate change, and effects of climate change on human health.
