Research

Her research has focused on estimating the value of health benefits, particularly increases in life expectancy and reductions in the risk of chronic illnesses, that are associated with improvements in air and water quality due to environmental regulations. She has also studied road safety, assessing how the value of health benefits should vary over the life course, the impact of electric power reforms in India, and the impact of climate change on migration.[1][2][3]

Cooper has research affiliations at the National Bureau of Economic Research, the University of Maryland, and Resources for the Future. She has been an associate editor of the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, the Journal of Economic Perspectives, Resource and Energy Economics, and the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists. She has been President of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists, and chaired the Advisory Council on Clean Air Compliance Analysis, Environmental Economics Advisory Committee, and the Advisory Council on Clean Air Compliance Analysis for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board.[4]

gollark: Whatever you're proposing doesn't seem *simpler*.
gollark: Generally speaking, probably mathematical models, but the maths involved in quantum physics and whatnot is beyond my knowledge anyway.
gollark: Also that.
gollark: ... coherent explanations? Evidence?
gollark: I have no idea how quantum entanglement is related to "strain/inertia", which are mostly macroscale concepts, and it probably isn't.
