I am an economist at the IQSS working on productivity measurement and environmental policy analysis.
Papers on measuring and projecting US productivity growth with Dale Jorgenson (IQSS) and Kevin Stiroh (NY Fed) are listed here.

Our numerical model of the US economy (Peter WilcoxenRichard Goettle,  Dan Slesnick and Jorgenson) -- IGEM, Intertermporal General Equilibrium Model, has been used to analyse environmental, trade and tax policies. Our papers.

At the University Center for the Environment (HUCE) China Project we constructed a multi-sector model of the Chinese economy to analyse energy and environmental policies. This work is done with many others, including CAO Jing, Karen Fisher-Vanden , Richard Garbaccio, LIU Bingjiang (China SEPA), Chris NielsenWANG Shuxiao.

For another listing of papers by this group please go to Dale Jorgenson webpages and click on "Recent Papers". Some data for our productivity studies may be found on Jorgenson's homepage for now (they will be posted at the IQSS Research Archive shortly).

We are part of the European Union Productivity Project (EUKLEMS) led by the University of Groningen Growth and Development Center (GGDC). Our U.S. data may be obtained from the EUKLEMS website. Work on productivity comparisons with Canada may be found at the Industry Canada website.


My work at Resources for the Future include analysis of carbon mitigation policies.
