Yu Ma

I am an economist specializing in environmental economics. My primary research interest is in the field of environmental economics, with a specialization in environmental policy and environmental justice. I received my Ph.D. in Environmental Policy (economics concentration) at Duke in July 2023. 

I am currently a postdoctoral research associate at Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL). I work with Dr. Gbadebo Oladosu and Dr. Rocio Uria-Martinez and supports applied economics and policy aspects of hydropower and bioenergy projects. 

My job market paper studies climate adaptation and results suggest the migration dynamics could exacerbate environmental justice concerns. (Please find the most recent version here)
