TREVOR WOOLLEY

Welcome! I am a PhD candidate in Agricultural and Resource Economics at UC Berkeley and an NSF Graduate Research Fellow.

I study topics in agricultural and environmental economics using tools from public finance, IO, and behavioral economics. I am particularly interested in the trade-offs between consumer preferences, agricultural productivity, animal welfare, and environmental sustainability.

I also developed and teach a course titled "Economic Tools for Effective Altruism" (Econ 198) to help undergraduate students understand major global issues and what they can do to make a difference.
