Welcome!

My name is Charlie Thompson, I am a Postdoctoral Researcher with the Deep Decarbonization Initiative (D2i) at UC San Diego.   My postdoc is centered around the quasi-experimental expansion of the EV charging network on the UCSD campus. 

I am on the job market during the 2025-2026 season. 

I received my PhD in applied economics from Oregon State University in 2024.  More broadly, my work relates to the fields of environmental economics particularly around climate change.  I also focus on economic history,  experimental, and behavioral economics.    

Prior to my PhD I received a MA from OSU in applied economics.  I am originally from New Jersey, and I received my Bachelors in Economics and History from The College of New Jersey.
