*Simon Greenhill uses econometrics, machine learning, and economic theory to improve environmental measurement and management.*

Simon's research focuses on measuring environmental conditions, estimating causal relationships between environmental and human outcomes, and improving environmental policy. His work combines econometrics, machine learning, and economic theory to generate new data and insights on the interactions between the economy and the environment. Simon studied at the University of California, Berkeley, earning bachelor’s degrees in economics and Arabic (2018), and a master’s (2022) and PhD (2026) in Agricultural and Resource Economics. His work includes using machine learning to measure the changing regulatory extent of the US Clean Water Act and estimating the impacts of noise pollution on human health. He is also committed to translating academic research for policy audiences, including as a co-lead author of the Economics chapter of the Fifth National Climate Assessment. As an Environmental Fellow, Simon will work with Charles Taylor, an assistant professor at the Harvard Kennedy School, on questions related to large-scale land use policy in the United States.

Faculty Host: Charles Taylor, Harvard Kennedy School
