Energy and development

Subhrendu K. Pattanayak, Professor of Public Policy, Environmental Economics and Global Health at Duke University, will give a seminar to discuss his research on energy and development. 

Subhrendus's research focusses on socially marginal populations, and he examines policies that raise inequities and efficiency concerns. His research methods have focussed on collecting survey and household level environmental  data  and  conducting  statistical analysis, collaborating with ecologists, epidemiologists, and other social scientists. In order to fund, design, implement, and disseminate results from his research, he has collaborated with policy‐makers in multi‐lateral agencies, national, state, and local governments, as well as NGOs, academics, and local research organizations in Brazil, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the U.S.
