Yongyang Cai works on the economics of climate change and natural resource management, building mathematical and computational models to study decisions made under uncertainty. His work often involves simulating how climate policy, carbon pricing, and resource-sharing agreements play out over time, especially when different countries or regions have competing interests. This research is aimed at improving the tools economists use to project long-term costs and outcomes of environmental policies.
