Energy, Trade and the Macroeconomy 2024-2027

DATE: July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2026

This project will develop new research on the interactions of energy system decarbonization and trade, and on the interactions of energy system decarbonization and the macroeconomy. The project will support sixteen new research studies, and the results will inform policymakers about aggregate and distributional impacts of policies at the intersection of trade and energy, and macro and energy.
