I’m Ed Rubin, an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Oregon.
research
I’m an environmental economist who researches how human behavior (individual and policy) affects social equity and the health of the natural world.
As an empiricist, I tackle these issues with a toolbox that draws from econometrics, statistics, and data science.
Examples from a few recent projects…
↳ unequal health impacts from glyphosate
exposure
↳ curiously missing data
in air-quality monitors
↳ unequal wildfire smoke
avoidance
↳ a
field experiment in customer-based gender bias
↳ pitfalls of injecting machine learning
into a 2SLS framework
↳ strategic location of
coal-fueled power plants

Passions: the outdoors, bikes, good food/coffee/drinks, beauty/photography data, and (most of all) loving people.
