Jesse Gourevitch

Postdoctoral Fellow (Environment and resource economics)

San Francisco, CA

Jesse is a postdoctoral fellow working with the Economics and Global Climate Cooperation team at the Environmental Defense Fund. His research aims to understand the economic impacts of climate and land use change on households, communities, and markets across the United States, and in turn, how property owners, private companies, and public institutions are adapting to these risks. Underlying this work is a broad interest in how environmental impacts are distributed among demographic and socioeconomic groups and how state and federal policy can achieve more equitable outcomes. Prior to joining the Environmental Defense Fund, Jesse worked at the Wharton Risk Center at the University of Pennsylvania. There, his research focused on how US housing markets are responding to increasing flood risk under climate change and the effectiveness of federal programs designed to reduce flood damages (e.g., FEMA’s Community Rating System). Jesse earned his Ph.D. in Natural Resources from the Univers
