Research summary

David M. Konisky studies environmental and energy policy in the United States, with a strong focus on energy insecurity"the struggle households face in affording and maintaining home energy"and on fairness in how energy and environmental burdens are distributed. Recent work examines topics like utility disconnections during extreme heat, residential solar for lower-income households, electric vehicle adoption, and the effects of policy and regulatory changes. Much of the research connects environmental issues to questions of justice and equity for vulnerable communities.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
