Jayash Paudel

I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Oklahoma and a fellow at the Global Labor Organization. I have published about 35 peer-reviewed journal articles in the fields of Environmental, Energy and Development Economics. My research has been funded by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, among others. I serve as the Managing Editor of World Development Perspectives, and an Associate Editor of Energy Economics.

I received a B.A. in Mathematical Economics from Colorado College, and a Ph.D. in Resource Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Before I started my Ph.D., I worked for the World Bank Group and Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL). I co-authored one of the chapters in the Fifth National Climate Assessment (NCA5) released by the White House.

I have previously been recognized with the Irene Rothbaum Outstanding Assistant Professor Award from the Dodge Family College of Arts and Sciences, and the Presidential Teaching Fellowship in the Honors College. I currently rank in the top 7% of over 70,000 Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) authors based on publications over the past 10 years
