Ryan Kellogg is the Ralph and Mary Otis Isham Professor and deputy dean for academic programs at the Harris School of Public Policy, and is a Research Associate at the National Bureau for Economic Research. Ryan’s research bridges industrial organization, energy economics, and environmental policy, focusing on the economics of resource extraction and on the transportation sector. Ryan’s publications examine topics such as the response of investment to uncertainty, the economic consequences of the shale gas boom, the effectiveness of policies to reduce emissions from the transportation sector, factors affecting households’ vehicle demand, and the nature of firms’ and households’ beliefs about future oil and refined product prices. In ongoing work, Ryan is studying the economics of private mineral leases for shale gas and the economics of fuel economy standards when future gasoline prices are uncertain.
