Dr. Lily Hsueh is an Associate Professor (with tenure) of Public Policy and Economics at the School of Public Affairs at the Arizona State University. She is a Visiting Scholar at the Woods Institute for the Environment, Doerr School of Sustainability at Stanford University.
At ASU, she is also a Senior Global Futures Scientist at the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory, and a Faculty Affiliate at the Center for Environmental Economics and Sustainability Policy, Center for Organization Research and Design, and Political Economy Working Group. Dr. Hsueh is a recipient of the 2020-21 AAUW American Fellowship.
Dr. Hsueh’s research centers on how economics and politics interact, and how markets, institutions, governments, businesses and other stakeholders play mediating roles in determining policy effectiveness, shaping the policy process and affecting policy outcomes. Her most recent projects have examined the emergence and efficacy of alternative governance systems (i.e., voluntary governance or market-based governance) across different policy issue areas and types of pollution and natural resources, namely global climate change, toxic chemicals, and ocean and marine resources. Dr. Hsueh's work has also examined the interaction between the private and public provision of public goods and the implications of alternative governance approaches on social equity.
Prior to joining ASU, Dr. Hsueh served as a National Research Council Postdoctoral Fellow at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. She earned her bachelor's degree in economics (with honors) from the University of California, Berkeley, a master's degree in economics (with distinctions) from University College London, and a Ph.D. in Public Policy and Management from the University of Washington. Prior to Dr. Hsueh’s career in academia, she was a senior analyst in at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.
