Profile
I am a resource economist who specializes in global warming. Born in South Korea, I received a PhD degree in Environmental and Natural Resource Economics from Yale University with a focus on global climate policy. Since 2003, I have been working with the World Bank on climate change issues in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Research
I contribute to the economics of global warming, a global stock public good. I am in support of managing greenhouse gas emissions over time by a globally harmonized carbon tax and of supporting communities to adapt to climate change.
With the World Bank, I have concentrated on measuring the impacts of climate change and adaptation behaviors on the farms in low-latitude developing countries in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. I spent a decade in developing behavioral models to quantify adaptations. I developed a new micro-econometric method to measure climate change impacts and endogenous adaptations simultaneously explicitly.
I have published a series of ‘ground-breaking’ papers on livestock management under climate change which have often been overlooked by researchers. Journal articles
