Review of Environmental Economics & Policy, and the author of numerous scholarly articles and books. His most recent book, edited with Jody Freeman of Harvard Law School, is Moving to Markets in Environmental Regulation (Oxford, 2007). His textbook Environmental Economics has been translated into Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese. He is also a research associate in the Environment and Energy Economics Program at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Kolstad has been a faculty member at the University of Illinois, Stanford University, MIT, and the New Economic School (Moscow), as well as a staff member at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and a Peace Corps volunteer in Ghana.

At Stanford University, Jon Krosnick is the Frederic O. Glover Professor in Humanities and Social Sciences; a professor of communication, political science, and psychology; and principal investigator of the American National Election Studies. He conducts research in three primary areas: attitude formation, change, and effects; the psychology of political behavior; and the optimal design of questionnaires used for laboratory experiments and surveys. Krosnick has taught courses on survey methodology around the world at universities, corporations, and government agencies. His survey research has explored the American public’s views of environmental issues, with a special focus on climate change, since 1995. He holds MA and PhD degrees in social psychology from the University of Michigan. Simon A. Levin

Princeton University | 609.258.6880 | slevin@princeton.edu

Simon Levin is the George M. Moffett Professor of Biology at Princeton University. His principal interests are in understanding how macroscopic patterns and processes are maintained at the level of ecosystems and the biosphere, in terms of ecological and evolutionary mechanisms that operate primarily at the level of organisms. Much of his research is concerned with the evolution of diversification, the mechanisms sustaining biological diversity in natural systems, and the implications for ecosystem structure and functioning. The work integrates empirical studies and mathematical modeling, with emphasis on how to extrapolate across scales of space, time, and organizational complexity. Current systems of study include plant communities, as well as marine open-ocean and intertidal systems. In related work, he has explored the self-organization and evolution of strain structure in influenza A, and the dynamics of collective motion. He is deeply involved in the interface with management, sustainability, the resilience and robustness of coupled ecological and socioeconomic systems, and, more generally, the linkages between the ecological and economic dimensions of and perspectives on management.
