About me / Places I've livedAreas of expertise: Economics of climate change; market-based environmental regulations; carbon market design; interactions of energy and environmental regulations; mathematical and simulation modeling
Gokce Akin-Olcum, Ph.D., specializes in international climate policy and market-based environmental regulations. A key element of her work is the integration of economic simulation models in environmental policy design. Gokce (pronounced goek-che) is currrently focusing on the evolution of carbon markets as part of the post-Paris agreement climate policymaking, i.e., identifying key institutional and policy design features to develop permit markets, incorporating REDD+ credits and other mechanisms outlined in Article 6.
