Connor Neff - Economics PhD Candidate

Hi there! I’m Connor Neff, an Economics PhD Candidate at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville. My research utilizes tools from industrial organization, natural resource modeling, and applied microeconomics to study questions related to energy and water economics. Outside of economics research, I dedicate much of my time to climbing and surfing.

I will be joining the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) of Economics in January 2027.
