Bio and Curriculum Vitae
Bio
Justin Andrew Johnson is an Associate Professor of Applied Economics at the University of Minnesota. Justin co-founded and is faculty-director of TEEMs (The Earth-Economy Modelers), a research center in Applied Economics that links economic and ecosystem models to assess sustainability policies. He received his Ph.D. from the department in 2014. Justin works closely with the Natural Capital Alliance at Stanford University and the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) at Purdue University. Justin’s research focuses on how the economy affects the environment, and vice versa, on global to local scales. Currently, Justin leads a project that links the GTAP macroeconomic (computable general equilibrium) model with the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model from the Natural Capital Project, aiming to build strong quantitative evidence on how changes in ecosystem services affect economic performance at the macroeconomic level and how global policies can be designed to sustainably manage our natural capital.
