Juan Moreno-Cruz is an Assistant Professor in the School of Economics. He has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Calgary and a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in electrical engineering from the University of Los Andes, in Bogota, Colombia. Moreno-Cruz’s research focuses on the interaction of climate change, technological change and economic growth. Moreno-Cruz has investigated how geoengineering technologies affect optimal climate policy, the interaction among nations, and the asymmetric impacts across regions and across generations created by the implementation of these technologies. Currently, he is studying previous energy transitions in order to inform current policy. Moreno-Cruz's work is at the intersection between applied theory and public policy.
