Chi L. Ta

Welcome to my website!

I am an assistant professor at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, University of Texas at Austin. 

My research focuses on the intersection of energy, environmental, agricultural, and public economics, with a particular emphasis on policy evaluation and design. I seek to tackle critical environmental and energy challenges both in the U.S. and globally. My work is dedicated to helping policymakers develop innovative strategies that foster conservation and sustainability in in critical sectors, including electricity, agriculture, and transportation. In my research, I integrate various theoretical and empirical approaches, such as general equilibrium modeling, randomized control trials, and natural or policy experiments.
