Tatyana_Deryugina.jpeg

Tatyana Deryugina is an associate professor of finance at the University of Illinois and a research associate in NBER’s Environment and Energy Economics Program. She is a coeditor of the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists and the NBER journal Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy.

Deryugina’s research focuses on environmental risk. She has studied the economic costs of both natural and man-made environmental shocks, including hurricanes, climate change, hazardous substance spills, and air pollution. Her work includes evaluating the impacts of Hurricane Katrina on the long-run labor market outcomes and survival of residents of New Orleans; estimating the social costs of acute air pollution exposure; and assessing the effect of temperature on the US economy. She has also investigated how farmers adjust their crop insurance choices in anticipation of disaster assistance, how scientific opinions affect laypersons’ beliefs about climate change, and how building energy codes and electricity prices affect energy consumption.

Deryugina holds a PhD in economics from MIT, and a BA in applied mathematics and a BS in environmental economics from the University of California, Berkeley.
