Steve’s research focuses on long-run modeling of energy systems and climate change drivers,
mitigation, and potential risks, as well as the economics of land-use, agriculture and forestry
abatement, and bioenergy as they relate to domestic and international climate change and
energy policy. Some current research interests include domestic and global modeling of land
and land-based greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation and bioenergy, long-run global socioeconomic
and climate projections, and marginal costs of climate change.
Steve recently completed a review article on forest GHG mitigation economic modeling and
insights and co-edited a special issue of Environment and Development Economics on the
economics of reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation. He also published a book
on economic analysis of global land-use in climate change policy. He was and is a lead author
for the IPCC’s Fourth and Fifth Assessment Reports respectively, and the U.S. National Climate
Assessment, as well as for the IPCC’s report on the development of new climate scenarios. In
addition, Steve co-chairs the land modeling and bioenergy subgroup of Stanford University’s
Energy Modeling Forum (EMF) and was appointed to the federal government’s U.S. Carbon
Cycle Science Program Carbon Cycle Scientific Steering Group and EPA’s Science Advisory Board
panel on Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Biogenic Sources. He has also had various expert
advisory appointments related to indirect land-use change, bioenergy greenhouse accounting
standards, and integrated assessment.
Before joining EPRI in October 2008, Steve served was a senior research economist on climate
change at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In this role he was a senior technical
advisor to domestic policy-making and international negotiations and was actively engaged in
research as well as scientific assessments. Steve was also the author of EPA’s first work on the
marginal benefits of reducing GHG emissions.
Steve received his Bachelor of Arts degree in economics from the University of WisconsinMadison and his doctorate in economics from Cornell University.
