Anna French is a Ph.D. candidate in economics at Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business and a 2026 AEA summer economics fellow at the Washington Center for Equitable Growth.
Her research lies at the intersection of environmental economics and macroeconomics, focusing on how spatial frictions and policy uncertainty shape the green energy transition and its distributional consequences.
In her job market paper, she develops a spatial general equilibrium model of the U.S. electricity sector to quantify the welfare costs of uncertainty in federal renewable energy tax credits, examining how regime-switching policy affects investment, electricity prices, and emissions across the United States.
Her other work studies the spatial effects of diesel taxation on interregional trade and pollution exposure. French received dual B.A. degrees in economics from the New Economic School and the Higher School of Economics.
