Jerome Dumortier joined the O’Neill School at IUPUI in August 2011 after receiving his Ph.D. in Economics from Iowa State University. His research focuses on energy, environmental, and agricultural economics, especially bioenergy and land-use change. In the past, the interactions between agricultural, energy, and carbon policies have been subject of his work. Among others, he has worked as a consultant for the European Commission’s Joint Research Center (JRC) to evaluate the land-use change implications of EU biofuel policy. His current research agenda focuses on the economic effects of a changing vehicle stock due to higher fuel efficiency and more electric vehicles.

Dr. Dumortier’s recent research focuses on transportation related issues such as plug-in vehicles and fuel taxation. He is also interested in determining the economic effects of climate change on agriculture using simulation models. Dr. Dumortier is Co-Editor-in-Chief of BioEnergy Research and a member of the Editorial Advisory Board of GCB Bioenergy. At the O’Neill School, he teaches economics and statistics at the graduate level as well as public finance at the undergraduate level.
