Welcome! እንኳዕ ደሓን መፃኹም! Välkommen!

I (Tensay Meles) am an economist, working on building energy performance certificates, electricity markets and tariffs, environmental valuation, adoption of renewable energy technologies, and economic preferences and their temporal stability. Currently, I am a researcher at the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI). Before joining ESRI, I worked at University College Dublin (UCD) and Mekelle University.  

My research areas cover energy economics, behavioral economics, development economics, environmental valuation, randomized field experiments, impact evaluations, and machine learning.  I have rich experience in designing and administrating household and firm survey data in developing countries, notably in Tanzania and Ethiopia. Several of my research has been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Environmental and Resource Economics, Energy Economics, and Energy Policy.

I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Gothenburg, MPhil from the University of Oslo, and BA from Mekelle University.
