Shifrah Aron-Dine
Assistant Professor, Agricultural and Resource Economics
Environmental economist Shifrah Aron-Dine’s research explores questions at the intersection of macroeconomics, finance, and environmental economics, focusing on how households, markets, and government policies interact. In recent work, Aron-Dine studied the distributional effects of natural disasters and the impact of post-disaster policies in Puerto Rico, following Hurricane Maria in 2017. In other ongoing work, she explores the potential substitution of private action for government policy to accelerate the transition to a green economy through financial markets.
Aron-Dine joins the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics this year as a new assistant professor. She earned her PhD in economics from Stanford University and has a BS in physics from Harvey Mudd College.
