Raphael Calel

Raphael Calel is a Ciriacy-Wantrup Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics within the Rausser College of Natural Resources at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on the intersection of environmental economics, climate policy, and carbon markets.

Dr. Calel received his PhD in Environmental Economics from the London School of Economics (LSE). Prior to his doctoral studies, he completed academic work at the University of Cambridge and University College London (UCL).

His primary research interests include:

• Economic effects of the EU Emissions Trading System
• Climate change policy and technological innovation
• Uncertainty in climate forecasts and economic modeling
• Carbon market regulation and enforcement
• Environmental policy and directed technological change

Calel's recent publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on carbon markets, climate economics, and environmental policy evaluation. His work often employs empirical methods to assess the real-world impacts of climate policies, particularly the EU Emissions Trading System. He frequently collaborates with leading researchers including Antoine Dechezleprêtre, David Stainforth, and Nick Watkins. His research bridges theoretical economic models with practical policy applications, addressing questions of market design, regulation effectiveness, and innovation incentives within carbon pricing mechanisms.

Professional recognition:

• Ciriacy-Wantrup Postdoctoral Fellowship at UC Berkeley

Dr. Calel has been actively involved in collaborative research projects focused on climate policy evaluation. His work has informed understanding of how carbon markets function in practice, the challenges of international coordination in emissions trading, and the relationship between environmental regulation and technological innovation. His research output suggests involvement in significant projects examining global climate policy mechanisms.

Dr. Calel appears to be part of collaborative research networks focused on climate economics, working with researchers across institutions including the LSE, Cambridge, and various European research centers. His work on the EU Emissions Trading System suggests engagement with policy-oriented research teams analyzing real-world carbon market operations.
