Michael Goldstein

I study the intersection of climate and human systems in the Arctic, with a focus on pricing the variation in climate and how climate variations affect human decision-making. In my work, I try to combine economics and climate change research to produce findings useful to communities, government and business. I am a Finance Professor at Babson College (My Babson Webpage) and am a Visiting Professorship Fellow at the Climate Change Research Center at the University of New South Wales (My UNSW Climate Change webpage). I have studied and been up on the commercial Ice Road in Yellowknife that was featured in Season 1 of Ice Road Truckers, as well as government ice roads that service First Nation communities. I have also been up to Barrow, Alaska and worked on research there. See My Arctic Economics website for more details. Of course, I am also a full time finance professor (I study financial markets). You can find my publications and CV on my Babson webpage above. More information is on my my Social Science Research Network (SSRN) page, or my ResearchGate Page, or on my LinkedIn page.

Beyond this, I am an instrument rated private pilot, a certified SCUBA diver, the captain of a 38 foot replica sail boat the Pilgrims used (Shallop Elizabeth Tilley Facebook page) and have run four marathons.
