Joseph is an economist interested in market design and regulation, particularly with respect to the study of wholesale electricity markets. As renewable generation becomes increasingly common, this poses certain challenges in rethinking existing market designs in light of these technologies. Economics can help us better understand important aspects of these challenges, while the unique problems raised by renewable integration generate questions that can better inform our economic models.

Major corporations and their executives play a key role in addressing global sustainability challenges. Much of Curtis' research focuses on investor demand for corporate sustainability and understanding the channels through which sustainability creates value to shareholders.
