Bansari helps clients find optimal solutions at the intersection of energy and environmental challenges.

Bansari supports public and private sector clients in understanding the economic effects of public policy decision-making. His expertise lies at the intersection of energy and environmental issues, and he seeks solutions that optimize the balance between the two. Bansari analyzes the economic impacts of reducing emissions across various sectors in cost-effective and environmentally conscious ways, including supply and demand within the energy value chain.

Bansari’s work covers electricity generation and upstream fuel sectors on the supply side and transportation and energy efficiency from the demand perspective. He analyzes the economic implications of clean energy-based economic development and studies various regulatory approaches. That includes market-based programs to efficiently and cost-effectively deploy clean energy resources.

A nationally renowned expert on the REMI 政策 Insight model, Bansari evaluates the economic and distributional impacts of policies on 联邦, 状态, 以及公共部门的本地客户, 非政府组织, 基金会, 私营部门客户. He also researches the macroeconomic (and other general equilibrium effects) of economy-wide decarbonization policies for 状态 and national levels.

Bansari works extensively on international economic development issues, particularly for developing countries in South and Southeast Asia. His expertise in market-based energy policies helps clients in the U.S., 欧盟, 以及亚洲的发展中国家, understand the efficiencies of those policies versus traditional command-and-control approaches. This applies in terms of societal costs and benefits as well as distributional and competitiveness impacts.

在他的角色中, Bansari measures the economic implications of damage to our critical infrastructure, including the transmission grid and other vulnerable infrastructure. He also manages economic impact models to estimate the regional economic effects of offshore and onshore oil and gas exploration and drilling activities. He analyzes ramifications for labor markets and other regional economic consequences for various infrastructure projects, including building new power plants and the wage and labor supply elasticities for different occupational groups.

Bansari works with the 环境al Protection Agency to estimate the benefits of brownfield cleanups and redevelopment using a hedonic housing model. He also evaluates models for the earnings relationship for truck drivers for a proposed regulation on hours-of-service.

“虽然美国对我们的经济影响.S. 脱碳 Efforts study paints an overall rosy picture, it also shows that there would be losses in the fossil fuel sector compared to business-as-usual. 但总的来说,我们过得更好了. There's always a concern that we can't shift to clean energy without hurting the economy. But it looks like you can under the scenarios modeled here--and you can do it with an overall benefit to the economy."
