Posted September 8, 2015

Matthew E. Oliver, assistant professor in the School of Economics, traveled to the Rocky Mountains over Labor Day weekend to attend the 17th Annual CU Environmental and Natural Resource Economics Workshop. The workshop was held at the Lion Square Lodge in Vail, Colorado and hosted by Nick Flores, Chair of the Department of Economics at the University of Colorado-Boulder. 

Oliver presented a talk entitled "Short-run Electricity Expenditure Risk: Renewable Portfolio Standards versus Feed-In Tariffs," which highlights some early results from his current research collaboration with Erik Johnson of the School of Economics.

This year's workshop featured presentations by faculty and graduate students from over twenty major colleges and universities, including the University of Colorado, the Ohio State University, the University of California-Berkeley, and the University of Maryland.
