Eleanor Krause

Hello! I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Kentucky Gatton College of Business and Economics. I received my Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2024.

My research applies the insights and methods from public, labor, and urban economics to study questions related to the environment, economic opportunity, and geographic inequality. Much of my current work explores the distributional and labor market consequences of the clean energy transition.

Prior to my doctoral studies, I worked in the Economic Studies program at the Brookings Institution and the U.S. Climate Initiative at the World Resources Institute. 

I spend most of my leisure time climbing rocks.
