Meredith Fowlie is a professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, an affiliated professor at the Haas School of Business, and a faculty director at the Energy Institute at Haas. She holds the Class of 1935 Endowed Chair in Energy at UC Berkeley. She is also an affiliated faculty of the Energy and Resources Group, and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research in the Energy and Environmental Economics group.

Fowlie is an applied economist working at the intersection of industrial organization, energy markets, and environmental economics. Much of her work investigates how market-based environmental regulation—and emissions trading programs in particular—are working in practice. Fowlie is also interested in the demand side of energy markets and work that integrates methods and models from other disciplines into economic analysis of policy outcomes.

Her work has appeared in the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy, Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Review of Economics and Statistics, and other academic journals.
