Andrew Keeler is an Associate Professor in Ohio State's graduate school at the John Glenn School of Public Affairs and he conducts research in environmental and natural resource economics and policy. His current research projects focus on the general area of climate change policy. Professor Keeler received his B.A. in economics from the University of North Carolina and his Ph.D. in agricultural and resource economics from the University of California, Berkeley.
Professor Keeler served as the Senior Staff Economist for Environment at the President's Council of Economic Advisers (2000-2001) where he was a member of the U.S. negotiating team for climate change and a diplomatic representative to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on coordinating national sustainability policies.

Professor Keeler was a member of the Advisory Committee and the Water Rights Working Group of the Georgia Legislature's Joint Comprehensive Water Plan Study Committee in 2001-2002. Professor Keeler has been published on the economic value of biological indicators in water quality economics, the relationship of engineering and insurance in managing beach erosion, a variety of topics in environmental regulation and enforcement and on solid waste management.
Professor Keeler recently completed a paper commissioned by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners on how federal climate change policies may affect public interest regulation of electricity. He is currently working on a commissioned paper for the Harvard Project on International Climate Agreements.
