Dr. Ian Sue Wing is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography & Environment at
Boston University (BU), a research affiliate of the Centers for Energy &
Environmental Studies and Transportation Studies at BU, the Joint Program
on the Science & Policy of Global Change at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT), and a 2005-6 REPSOL-YPF Energy Fellow at Harvard's Kennedy
School of Government. He holds a Ph.D. in Technology, Management & Policy
from MIT and a M.Sc. in economics from Oxford University, where he was the
1994 Commonwealth Caribbean Rhodes Scholar. Dr. Sue Wing conducts research
and teaching on the economic analysis of energy and environmental policy,
with an emphasis on climate change and computational general equilibrium (CGE)
analysis of economies' adjustment to policy shocks. His current research
includes investigation of the impacts at the state and regional level of current
U.S. proposals to mitigate climate change, sources of long-run change in the energy
intensity of the U.S. economy, the theoretical and empirical analysis of
induced technological change, the long-run effects of trade-mediated
international productivity spillovers for global carbon emissions and
leakage, and the implications of different methods of representing
endogenous technological change in CGE models for climate change policy
analysis. He has been supported by grants from the California Energy Commission and the
U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, and has been a member of advisory panels
for the DOE, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Research Council.
