Vincent Thivierge

Biography

Vincent is a PhD Candidate in Economics and Environmental Science at UC Santa Barbara, and a 2022-2023 Dissertation Fellow at the University of California Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation. He is broadly studying the efficiency, effectiveness, and equity impacts of environmental policies for global or local air pollutants. His job market paper develops an empirical framework for estimating allocative efficiency changes and applies it to U.S. air pollution cap-and-trade markets. Other ongoing projects examine the effectiveness of carbon tariffs in reducing carbon leakage, and the air pollution and health effects of the energy transition.

Prior to attending UC Santa Barbara, he earned his Bachelor of Business Administration from HEC Montréal, Université de Montréal (2012) and his Master of Arts in Economics from the Vancouver School of Economics at the University of British Columbia (2013).
