主讲嘉宾简介:Richard Morgenstern is a Senior Fellow at Resources for the Future and a former Senior Executive at 

the U.S. EPA, where he directed the Agency' Policy Office for more than a decade and acted in various presidential 

appointee positions, including as the Deputy Administrator. For the year 2016-2017 he was a Fulbright scholar at the

University of Ottawa, where he was involved in various design issues for Canada’s cap and trade program, including

those relating to energy intensive trade exposed industries. Previously he also served in both the Department of 

State and the Congressional Budget Office. At the EPA he led the path-breaking analysis of Agency priorities,

Unfinished Business. Early in his career he was a tenured economics professor at the City University of New York, 

and subsequently taught at the Wharton School, Yeshiva University, and Oberlin College. His research focuses on the

evaluation of the costs, benefits, and design of environmental policies in the U.S., (including various state level

programs), China and other nations, especially economic incentive measures for addressing climate change. He has 

written widely and testified before Congress on various issues, including competitiveness in a cap and trade system.

His current research looks back at the performance of federal regulations, and evaluates options for limiting 

emissions leakage in carbon pricing programs.
