Over the past two decades, Fowlie has led influential research on carbon pricing, insurance market adaptations to climate change, energy efficiency programs, and regulatory design. Her publications span topics like NOx trading programs, satellite-based air quality analysis, and default effects in electricity pricing. She has collaborated extensively with scholars such as Catherine Wolfram, Christopher R. Knittel, and Nicholas Muller.

Her recent work (2025-2022) emphasizes catastrophe insurance equity, climate risk classification, and carbon pricing mechanisms. Earlier studies (2020-2008) addressed co-benefits in regulatory analysis, emissions leakage in incomplete markets, and optimal pollution regulation across stationary/non-stationary sources.
