Matt Woerman, Assistant Professor

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at Colorado State University. 

I study energy and environment economics and industrial organization with a focus on electricity, groundwater, and climate. My recent research examines the role of energy technologies on strategic firm behavior and market outcomes in wholesale electricity markets; how increasing groundwater pumping costs affect farm pumping and cropping decisions; and the design of carbon markets and other environmental policies. I have also developed applied econometric methods for use in empirical work, including tools for designing field experiments using panel data. See my research page for links to this research.

I previously taught a graduate econometrics course on structural estimation. Course materials are available on the course GitHub repository.
