Yoram Bauman

Yoram Bauman is an environmental economist and stand-up comedian with a BA in mathematics from Reed College and a PhD in economics from the University of Washington. His goals in life are to spread joy to the world through economics comedy, which he does through YouTube videos and shows at colleges, comedy clubs, and corporate events around the country; to reform economics education with books such as The Cartoon Introduction to Economics, co-authored with Grady Klein; and to advocate for carbon pricing and other economic approaches to protecting the environment. In addition to comedy and writing, Yoram has been engaged in consulting work---notably as the project economist for "Impacts of Climate Change on Washington’s Economy"---and in teaching gigs at the UW Program on the Environment, Whitman College, Bainbridge Graduate Institute, and Seattle’s Lakeside High School. His association with Sightline started with a 1997 internship that led to his co-authoring Tax Shift with Sightline founder Alan Durning. Read his latest blog articles here.
