William Nordhaus

William Dawbney "Bill" Nordhaus (b. May 31, 1941, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA) is the Sterling Professor of Economics at Yale University.

Nordhaus received his B.A. from Yale in 1963 and obtained his Ph.D. from MIT in 1967. He has been a member of the faculty at Yale since 1967 and has also served as its Provost from 1986-1988 and its Vice President for Finance and Administration from 1992-1993. His tenure as provost was among the shortest in the university's history.

Among many honors, he is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and has been on the Brookings Panel on Economic Activity since 1972. During the Carter administration, from 1977-1979, Nordhaus was a member of the Council of Economic Advisers.

Nordhaus is the author of many books. He is the co-author of the textbook "Economics", the original editions of which were written by Nobel Laureate Paul Samuelson. The book is currently in its 18th edition and has been translated into at least 17 other languages. He has also written several books on global warming and climate change, one of his primary areas of research, including "Managing the Global Commons: The Economics of Climate Change" and "Warming the World: Economic Models of Global Warming" (with Joseph Boyer).

In 1972 Nordhaus, along with fellow Yale economics professor James Tobin, published "Is Growth Obsolete?" [Nordhaus, W. and J. Tobin, 1972. Is growth obsolete?. Columbia University Press, New York.] , an article that introduced the Measure of Economic Welfare as the first model for economic sustainability assessment.

Nordhaus lives in New Haven, Connecticut, with his wife Barbara.
