Ruslana Rachel Palatnik, Ph.D., is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Economics and Management at the Yezreel Valley College (YVC), Israel, a Senior Research Fellow at the Natural Resources and Environmental Research Center (NRERC), University of Haifa, Israel, and a Senior Guest Research Scholar at the Integrated Assessment and Climate Change (IACC) Research Group within the Energy, Climate, and Environment (ECE) Program at IIASA- International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Austria. Her primary academic interests are bioeconomy, energy economics, climate change and environmental economics. To provide policy-relevant analysis, Dr. Palatnik employs quantitative analytical methods primarily for ex-ante investigation. Her research uses both top-down macro-economic analytical tools such as computable general equilibrium (CGE) and Integrated Assessment Models (IAM) and bottom-up sector-level analysis employing mathematical programming and econometric methods. By spanning multiple methodologies, she aims to build a body of research evidence that combines a detailed sectoral investigation and a macroeconomic setting where the markets interact, addressing the role of alternative mechanisms and confounding factors.
