Michael Livermore

In addition to co-directing the Administrative and Regulatory State Clinic and serving as executive director of the Institute for Policy Integrity, Michael A. Livermore ’06, adjunct professor of law, has continued to engage in research in the areas of environmental law, cost-benefit analysis, and regulatory review. Together with Dean Richard L. Revesz, Livermore is publishing an edited volume that examines the application of cost-benefit analysis to environmental policy in developing and emerging economies, a project that grew out of the conference they convened at NYU-Abu Dhabi in the fall of 2010. That book, entitled, Cost-Benefit Analysis Goes Global: Balancing Environmental Protection and Economic Development Around the World will be published by Oxford University Press in January 2013.  Livermore also has an article examining real option value in the leasing of offshore oil that will be published in the Georgetown Law Journal next year.
