Mark Paul is an assistant professor of economics at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers University, a member of the Rutgers Climate Institute, and a member of the executive editorial board at the new multidisciplinary open access (IOP) journal Environmental Research: Energy.

The other half of his work is dedicated to climate change and environmental policy. Of course, the two are deeply intertwined.

His research and writing has appeared in the New York Times, The Economist, Washington Post, The Financial Times, The Atlantic, Vox, The American Prospect, The Nation, The Hill, CNN, MIT Technology Review, Washington Monthly, Forbes, Jacobin, and Dissent, among other publications.
