Chavon Rogers holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and is interested in the overlapping emergencies of climate change, macroeconomics, development, and environmental issues, with a specific focus on small open economies. His dissertation examined the macroeconomic impact of climate change on the economies of small island states, focusing on the effects of extreme weather events and climatic conditions on fiscal space, inflation, and central bank green monetary policy. He also examines questions on the political economy of natural resource extraction in developing countries. He is an ELEVATE fellow, a graduate research and training program within the Energy Transition Institute at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, which engages in rigorous, interdisciplinary, evidence-based, and just solutions to the climate transition at the community and national levels. He was a Political Economy Research Institute dissertation fellow and a Fulbright Alumnus.
