David Harry Bernstein

Welcome! I’ve been working as an Economist at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission since 2022.  I received my PhD in Economics from the University of Miami in 2020.  

I do research in applied econometrics, in both theoretical and empirical settings.  My empirical research focuses mainly on energy applications, while my theoretical interests lie in stochastic frontier analysis, nonparametrics, and time series.  

As reflected on my CV, I served as a postdoc in both academia and government from 2020-2022.  Outside of research, I enjoy hiking at national parks, improving my language skills (to the extent possible), and travel.
