Willard Robinson headshot


I am a Ph.D. student in the Economics department at North Carolina State University and a Center for Environmental and Resource Economic Policy (CEnREP) affiliate doing research at the intersection of environmental economics and market design.

I focus on questions regarding the valuation and allocation of ecosystem services. In particular, my dissertation estimates transaction costs associated with using carbon offsets in California and their implications for market design. My interests span environmental economics and economic tools more broadly, and I have ongoing research estimating the potential impact of climate change-induced fish migration on demand for recreational fishing.

For more information about me and my research, please see my CV and Research page.

I am on the 2026-2027 job market.
