Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Microeconomics
  • Finance

Environmental economics, Occupational safety and health, Life-cycle assessment, Electricity and Waste management are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Input–output model, Goods and services, Process and Externality. His Life-cycle assessment research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Process modeling, General equilibrium theory, Industrial engineering and Product.

His Electricity research incorporates elements of Energy conservation, Electrical grid and Function. Lester B. Lave has researched Waste management in several fields, including Compressed natural gas and Green vehicle, Miles per gallon gasoline equivalent. His Risk analysis research includes elements of Policy analysis and Public policy.

His most cited work include:

  • Economic Input–Output Models for Environmental Life-Cycle Assessment (559 citations)
  • Air pollution and human health (443 citations)
  • Is There a Role for Benefit-Cost Analysis in Environmental, Health, and Safety Regulation? (376 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Environmental economics, Natural resource economics, Environmental health, Waste management and Electricity. Lester B. Lave undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Environmental economics and Cost–benefit analysis in his work. His Environmental health research includes themes of Risk analysis and Risk assessment.

His work on Risk assessment is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Risk management. Lester B. Lave studies Coal, a branch of Waste management. His research on Electricity often connects related topics like Environmental engineering.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental economics (11.18%)
  • Natural resource economics (9.63%)
  • Environmental health (9.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2015)?

  • Electricity (8.07%)
  • Environmental economics (11.18%)
  • Natural resource economics (9.63%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary scientific interests are in Electricity, Environmental economics, Natural resource economics, Electric power industry and Environmental engineering. His work carried out in the field of Electricity brings together such families of science as Energy conservation, Public economics, Function and Operations management. The concepts of his Environmental economics study are interwoven with issues in Input–output model, Order, Electricity generation, Efficient energy use and Flexibility.

His Natural resource economics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Project team, Price elasticity of demand, Short run, Investment and Truck. He interconnects Marketing, Restructuring, Electricity market and Demand response in the investigation of issues within Electric power industry. His study looks at the relationship between Electricity market and topics such as Energy storage, which overlap with Waste management.

Between 2005 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Demand Response and Electricity Market Efficiency (228 citations)
  • Valuation of plug-in vehicle life-cycle air emissions and oil displacement benefits (205 citations)
  • Preparing for smart grid technologies: A behavioral decision research approach to understanding consumer expectations about smart meters (151 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Statistics
  • Finance
  • Microeconomics

His primary areas of investigation include Electricity, Energy conservation, Environmental economics, Waste management and Environmental engineering. His Electricity research includes themes of Energy consumption, Order, Subsidy and Externality. He works mostly in the field of Energy conservation, limiting it down to concerns involving Consumption and, occasionally, Customer response, Commerce, Demand response, Purchasing and Peaking power plant.

His studies deal with areas such as Input–output model, Goods and services, Life-cycle assessment and Product lifecycle as well as Environmental economics. His work in Waste management is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Energy storage. His research in Environmental engineering intersects with topics in Wind power, Diesel particulate filter, Natural gas, Backup and Electricity delivery.
