Yale School of Management - Faculty

Assistant Professor of Economics

Professor Campbell joined Yale School of Management in 2009 after completing his PhD at MIT. His research interests include industrial organization, economic theory, and energy/environmental economics. His most recent work studies government policies for promoting long-term changes in the mix of technologies used to produce electricity. In particular this work focuses on the impact of the intermittent nature of renewable technologies, such as wind and solar power, on the effectiveness of various policy alternatives for addressing climate change.

Other projects include the strategic pricing and advertising behavior of firms when consumers engage in word of mouth communication, how individuals develop trust in social networks through the friendships they form and the implications of this for the micro-structure of social networks, and decision making in committees when committee members need incentives to both discover valuable information pertaining to the decision and incentives to promptly reveal this information to other committee members. This year he will teach Competitive Strategy and Energy Market Strategy.
