PROFILE |
Alan Krupnick is Director of Resources for the Future’s Center for Energy Economics and Policy and a Senior Fellow at RFF. As the Director of CEEP, Alan works with the full complement of Center researchers to establish and carry out the Center’s research agenda.
Alan’s own research focuses on analyzing environmental and energy issues, in particular, the benefits, costs and design of pollution and energy policies, both in the United States and in developing countries. He was lead author for the Toward a New National Energy Policy: Assessing the Options study, examining the costs and cost-effectiveness of a range of federal energy policy choices in both the transportation and electricity sectors. His primary research methodology is in the development and analysis of stated preference surveys, but he has also undertaken research on natural gas supply and impact on energy prices and policies; the costs and benefits of converting the U.S. heavy-duty truck fleet to run on liquefied natural gas; and the costs and benefits of expanded regulation around deepwater oil drilling.
Alan has been a consultant to state governments, federal agencies, private corporations, the Canadian government, the European Union, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank. He co-chaired an advisory committee that counseled the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on new ozone and particulate standards. Krupnick also served as senior economist on the President's Council of Economic Advisers, advising the Clinton administration on environmental and natural resource policy issues. He is a regular member of expert committees from the National Academy of Sciences and the U.S. EPA. He received his Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Maryland.

Krupnick, and Walter O. Spofford, Jr. | | RFF Press | 1991 | | Description: Benefit-cost analysis of public policies designed to protect the environment and the public from environmental contaminants is growing in popularity, whether as the determinative criterion or as an ingredient in a broader assessment of a policy's desirability. Also growing, unfortunately, is the number of poorly executed analyses, which not only degrade the decisions they are meant to inform but cast doubt upon the usefulness of benefit-cost analysis as a decision tool. Harrington, Krupnick, and Spofford display in this work an example of a properly conducted analysis. In the traditional manner of studies conducted at Resources for the Future, they proceed with extreme care and attention to detail in fashioning an appropriate blend of economic theory and innovative empirical analysis to estimate the social costs to a community arising from an outbreak of waterborne disease. The focus of their study is the outbreak of giardiasis---a common diarrheal disease---that raged through Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, just before Christmas 1983, striking 6,000 people ill and forcing some 75,000 residents to obtain an alternative source of drinking water, in some cases for as long as nine months. The results of their study have obvious bearing on the benefits communities can expect to gain from federal and state drinking water standards, and on the decisions government officials face concerning public policies and projects designed to protect drinking water from contamination. Moreover, the theory that has been developed and the techniques that have been employed may be usefully applied to other areas, such as food safety, where the benefits of proposed regulatory programs are needed to inform public decisions, or where the costs of public health episodes, such as outbreaks of salmonellosis, are desired. This book also provides useful information for appraising the damages to surface-water and groundwater resources arising from the accidental release of hazardous substances. Economics and Episodic Disease demonstrates the utility of combining economics with an appropriate dose of public health and natural science to provide a means for analyzing public policy issues involving a mix of marketed and nonmarketed goods and services.
