Tristan Potter is an Associate Professor in the School of Economics at Drexel University and currently serves as a visiting scholar at the Vermont Center for Behavioral Science Research on Climate and the Environment at Middlebury College. His research bridges macroeconomics, labor economics, and environmental economics, with a focus on how technology influences economic behavior and outcomes.
Research Interests: Dr. Potter's work explores the interplay between macroeconomic dynamics and labor market behavior, particularly in the context of job search technologies, non-compete agreements, and worker discouragement. He also investigates environmental economics, including the impact of air pollution on policy support and historical agricultural technologies on deforestation. His methodological approach blends empirical analysis with theoretical modeling.
