Elliot Grenier was a pre-doctoral fellow working on a range of projects with the Climate Impact Lab (CIL). He contributed to a paper producing the first empirically founded estimates of the local damages of climate change across the world. He also worked on projects quantifying the global effects of climate change on labor disutility and on agricultural yields across six staple crops.
In fall 2026, Elliot will be pursuing a PhD in Environmental Economics at Yale University.
“The pre-doctoral fellowship at EPIC has been an invaluable experience. I am especially grateful for the mentorship I received from the researchers at CIL and for the opportunity to work on collaborative and interdisciplinary research. Through my role, I learned what it means to do careful and rigorous work, honed my technical abilities, and gained real confidence as a researcher. I leave Chicago with a foundation I expect to build on throughout the rest of my academic career.”
