About
Nicholas Z. Muller is a leading environmental economist whose research focuses on the intersection of air pollution, climate change, and economic welfare. He is best known for developing the Air Pollution Emission Experiments and Policy (APEEP) model, a groundbreaking tool that quantifies the marginal damages of pollutants like PM2.5 and SO2, enabling cost-benefit analysis of environmental regulations. His work has profoundly shaped U.S. environmental policy, with his most-cited papers—including "Environmental Accounting for Pollution in the United States Economy" (over 800 citations) and "The Social Cost of Carbon" (over 1,200 citations)—providing rigorous estimates of pollution’s health and economic impacts. Muller’s research has been instrumental in informing the Environmental Protection Agency’s regulatory impact analyses, and he has received accolades such as the National Science Foundation’s CAREER Award. His ability to translate complex environmental data into actionable policy insights makes his work essential for students and researchers seeking to understand the true costs of pollution and the value of clean air.
