Biography
In addition to Lynne's position as a Senior Economist at PNNL she is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Northwestern University, and in the Social Enterprise at Kellogg (SEEK) program in the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. At Northwestern she is also a Faculty Member in the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems (NICO) and a Faculty Affiliate in the Center for the Study of Industrial Organization (CSIO). Lynne is the author or co-author of many academic journal articles, book chapters, policy studies, and public interest comments, most of which analyze electricity policy and market design issues. Her specialization is experimental economics and organizational economics. She also teaches undergraduate courses in energy economics, environmental economics, and history of economic thought, and writes about economics as the editor/owner at the website Knowledge Problem.
As a noted expert in demand response, end-use technology, and retail competition, Lynne has been asked to speak at various academic, industrial and regulatory groups about regulatory policy, institutional change, and experimental economic analysis of electric power market design.
Lynne is also currently a member of the GridWise Architecture Council, a group of 13 experts volunteering their time to articulate the guiding principles for an intelligent, transactive, energy system of the future, and to guide and promote measures to transform the nation's electricity system into a more reliable, affordable, secure network in which users collaborate with suppliers in an information- and value-rich market environment. She was also a Program Co-Chair for the 2006 meeting of the US Association of Energy Economics, and is a Conference Co-Chair for the 2007 meetings of the International Society of New Institutional Economics.
