In this video, I talk to economist Edward Millner about his thoughts and ideas on using carbon pricing, taxes, and dividends to reduce emissions in the economy. He talks about the tradeoffs associated with different policy mechanisms and how the market might react.
Edward Millner holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He joined the Department of Economics at Virginia Commonwealth University in 1983, rose to become a professor, and retired in 2022. During his time at VCU, he served as Associate Dean for Graduate Studies in Business and the Chair of the Department. His research focused on industrial organization and experimental and behavioral economics. He was instrumental in establishing the first laboratory for experimental economics on the east coast using a peer-to-peer computer network. He was an innovative teacher, developing video lectures for online and flipped classes, and was nominated twice for the School’s Teacher of the Year.
