Dylan Lucko

Predoctoral Researcher

Dylan Lucko is a founding researcher at the Kleinman Center’s EconClimate Lab, where he leads development of the Lab’s research agenda on decarbonization, industrial policy, and market dynamics. His research examines how infrastructure constraints- particularly in power systems- shape firm behavior and regional economic outcomes, and how these pressures translate into costs for ratepayers. Dylan works across academia, government, and industry to develop analytical tools that help policymakers navigate emerging climate–economy challenges.

Previously, Dylan served as a research associate at Harvard Business School and the Laboratory for Innovation Science at Harvard. His work at Harvard focused on technological innovation and decarbonization, using applied micro-econometrics to examine how firms respond to new technologies, operational bottlenecks, and emerging market pressures.

Earlier in his career, Dylan worked as a research assistant at the World Bank, supporting monetary policy and urban economics analysis for the Central Bank of Egypt. He also held research roles at George Washington University, the Mercatus Center, and the Institute for Corporate Social Responsibility, applying spatial modeling and statistical analysis to questions in economic development, regulatory design, and market behavior.

Dylan earned both his Master of Science and Bachelor of Science in Economics from The George Washington University.

He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and spends his free time cycling, running in the mountains, and reading physics books.
