Gregory Nemet is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in the La Follette School of Public Affairs and the Nelson Institute's Center for Sustainability and the Global Environment. He is also a member of the university's Energy Sources and Policy Cluster and a senior fellow at the University of Wisconsin–Madison Center for World Affairs and the Global Economy.
His research and teaching focus on improving analysis of the environmental, social, economic, and technical dynamics of the global energy system. This work is motivated by a general interest in understanding how to expand access to energy services while reducing environmental impacts. He teaches courses in energy systems analysis, governance of global energy problems, and international environmental policy.
Professor Nemet's research analyzes the process of technological change in energy and its interactions with public policy. These projects primarily fall in two areas: (1) empirical analysis identifying the drivers of past technological change and (2) modeling the effects of policy instruments on future technological outcomes. The first includes assessment of public policy, research and development (R&D), learning by doing, and knowledge spillovers. An example of the second includes work informing allocation between R&D and demand-side policy instruments to address climate change.
He is an author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Global Energy Assessment. He received his doctorate in energy and resources from the University of California, Berkeley. His A.B. is in geography and economics from Dartmouth College.
