Elliot Grenier is a pre-doctoral fellow at EPIC working with the Climate Impact Lab. He is currently supporting a project which aims to assess inequality in both the impacts and causes of future global warming. Elliot is interested in applied microeconomics with a focus on environmental economics and political economy. His previous research has explored how voters and their representatives adjust their political attitudes towards the environment as a result of climate change. He holds a Master’s in Economics from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada and a Bachelor’s in Honors Economics from Western University in London, Canada. In his free time, Elliot enjoys live music, reading, and exploring Chicago.
“I am thrilled to be a part of the Climate Impact Lab and of the greater EPIC community. Joining CIL has given me the unique opportunity to learn from economists and climate scientists alike alongside a cohort of bright and driven fellow pre-docs. The collaborative, interdisciplinary nature of CIL will allow me to grow as a researcher all while working on projects that inform climate policy.”
