The cost of sustainability. The value of nature. We study the systems.
We are a world-class set of economists that collaborate with agronomists, scientists, engineers, legal scholars, and other researchers. We study tradeoffs, human behavior, and the allocation of scarce resources. The results? Sustainable food systems, reliable energy and water systems, healthy environments, and thriving communities.
