Robert Hahn discussed the economics and politics of US energy policy. He argued that energy policy and environmental policy are inextricably linked and that both are heavily influenced by politics. Drawing on his experience and results from recent research, he suggested how politics could affect the design of energy policy and climate policy. He also explored how researchers may want to address political constraints in the design of policy.<\/p>\n
