Marc Jeuland is a professor of Public Policy and Global Health at Duke University, with secondary affiliations with the Nicholas School of the Environment and the Pratt School of Engineering. Marc serves as the Co-Director of the Sustainable Energy Transitions Initiative (SETI) and Faculty Director of the Energy Access Project at Duke University.

Marc also holds affiliations with UNC-Chapel Hill and JPAL. His research interests include nonmarket valuation, water and sanitation, environmental health, energy and development, the planning and management of transboundary water resources, and the impacts and economics of climate change. Marc teaches several courses at Duke, including Economics of the Public Sector, Intermediate Microeconomics, Cost-Benefit Analysis for Public Health and the Environment, Water Cooperation and Conflict, and Global Environmental Health.

Marc’s research in the domain of environment and development has mostly focused on South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, and uses micro-level household surveys and experimental or quasi-experimental studies, as well as systems-level modeling, the latter especially to understand the impacts and robustness of water resources projects in transboundary river systems. Besides working with other academics, he often collaborates with researchers and practitioners working in organizations such as the World Bank, USAID, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), the International Water Management Institute (IWMI), and the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves (GACC). Before his graduate studies and work at UNC-Chapel Hill, Marc was a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali, West Africa, where he designed and monitored construction of a pilot wastewater treatment system and trained management personnel at the plant’s managing firm. He holds a B.S. in Engineering from Swarthmore College.
