I’m an applied microeconomist and data scientist working at the intersection of environmental and public economics, environmental science, and policy evaluation. My research explores the origins and consequences of environmental inequalities, and investigates how we can design social insurance and anti-poverty programs to deliver equitable outcomes under environmental change. I tackle these questions by leveraging microeconomic tools, interdisciplinary approaches, and recent developments in big data and the causal inference literature. I’m always happy to chat about research, public policy, or any kind of outdoor recreation – feel free to contact me at jweill[at]ucdavis[dot]edu

I will be joining the Federal Reserve Board’s Research & Statistics division as a climate economist this summer.
