Overview

Richard G. Newell is affiliated with Resources For The Future in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on economics, econometrics, and finance, with significant contributions in the interdisciplinary fields of renewable energy, sustainability, and the environment.

The scientist's work covers a range of topics including climate change policy and economics, energy, environment, and transportation policies, economic and environmental valuation, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, agricultural risk and resilience, global energy and sustainability research, and misinformation and its impacts.

Newell has published extensively in several academic venues. They have contributed six publications to Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research). Other notable publication venues include Nature, the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, and the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists.

Recent significant papers by the scientist are:

  • "The Social Cost of Carbon: Advances in Long-Term Probabilistic Projections of Population, GDP, Emissions, and Discount Rates" (2022) in Brookings Papers on Economic Activity
  • "The GDP-Temperature relationship: Implications for climate change damages" (2021) in Journal of Environmental Economics and Management
  • "A Discounting Rule for the Social Cost of Carbon" (2022) in Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists

Other prominent papers relevant to their research areas, though with other lead authors, include:

  • "Comprehensive evidence implies a higher social cost of CO2" (2022) in Nature
  • "The social media Infodemic of health-related misinformation and technical solutions" (2024) in Health Policy and Technology

Newell collaborates frequently with several co-authors, including Brian Prest, William A. Pizer, Kevin Rennert, Frank Errickson, and Lisa Rennels.

Their work broadly intersects the analysis of economic and environmental outcomes related to climate change policies and energy systems, often advancing understanding of valuation methods and implications of long-term social costs associated with carbon emissions.
