Ross McKitrick (born 1965) is a Canadian economist specializing in environmental economics and policy analysis. He is a professor of economics at the University of Guelph, and a senior fellow of the Fraser Institute.

McKitrick has authored works about environmental economics and climate change issues, including co-authoring the book Taken By Storm: The Troubled Science, Policy and Politics of Global Warming, published in 2002. He is the author of Economic Analysis of Environmental Policy published by the University of Toronto Press. His background in applied statistics has also led him to collaborative work across a wide range of topics in the physical sciences including paleoclimate reconstruction,[1] malaria transmission,[2] surface temperature measurement[3] and climate model evaluation.[4] Professor McKitrick has made many invited academic presentations around the world, and has testified before the US Congress and committees of the Canadian House of Commons and Senate.

Biography

McKitrick gained his doctorate in economics in 1996[5] from the University of British Columbia, and in the same year was appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Guelph, Ontario. In 2001 he received an Associate Professorship and has been a full Professor since December 2008. He has also been a Senior Fellow of the Fraser Institute since 2002. He is a member of the academic advisory board of the Global Warming Policy Foundation.

Writing

McKitrick has authored works about environmental economics and climate change issues.[6] The book Taken By Storm, co-authored with Christopher Essex in 2002, was a runner-up for the Donner Prize.[7][8][9] The book Economic Analysis of Environmental Policy was published by University of Toronto Press in 2011.[10] McKitrick was one of the most prominent figures to help promote the Hockey stick graph controversy.

McKitrick has said, "It has become a commonplace to refer to the 'environmental crisis.' But I find the crisis rather hard to locate. On specific issues there is a continuum, ranging from non-issues, situations of concern, problems, and onward up to actual crises. Not everything is a crisis, just as not everything is a non-issue. Things mostly fall in between"[11]

McKitrick was a participant of the International Workshop on Econometric Applications in Climatology in June 2013.[12]{{third-party inline|reason=reliable, independent, third party secondary source needed for noteworthiness|date=November 2015}}
