About

Peter Tschofen’s PhD work focused on the estimation of monetary damages from air pollution in the United States. The work funded by the Steinbrenner Institute led to a publication in PNAS in 2019 and laid the groundwork for subsequent analyses focusing on damages in the agriculture sector as well as a study expanding economy-wide damage estimates by including climate damages and air pollution from wildfires which is under review at the moment.
