Assistant Professor Amir Jina's Research Questioned In Washington

Research by Harris Public Policy Assistant Professor Amir Jina is at the center of a Washington controversy over the economic cost of climate change. The research was central to a recent report released by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that urged the Trump administration to take action on climate change. The report was attacked by the U.S. House Science, Space and Technology Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) who questioned the research on the grounds it was not peer reviewed when it had in fact been peer reviewed twice.

Coverage of the original GAO report available at The New York Times.

Coverage of the resulting controversy available at the Washington Post.
