Examples of my experience in economic modeling, econometric and statistical analysis, simulation, and forecasting include:

bullet An econometric analysis of energy consumption by automobile manufacturing facilities to determine potential energy savings options.
bullet Co-developed the HydroSim© model, which simulates the hourly operations of hydroelectric generating facilities.
bullet Used benefit transfer methods to estimate the benefits of bringing the Chicago metropolitan area into attainment with the requirements of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments. The results of this work were published as The Urban Ozone Abatement Problem (with George S. Tolley, Jeffrey Wentz, and Steven Hilton), in Kosobud, R., D. Hanson, and W. Testa (editors), Cost-Effective Control of Urban Smog, Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, November 1993.

bullet Research on the possible impacts of climate change and alternative climate change response strategies on selected Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries.
