Dr. Train has twenty-five years’ consulting experience in energy, telecommunications, environmental, transportation and regulatory issues. He has received numerous awards for his research and teaching, including the Richard Stone Prize in Applied Econometrics. He has also served as Chair of the Center for Regulatory Policy at the University of California, Berkeley, where he teaches econometrics, industrial organization and regulation. In addition, Dr. Train has served on the editorial boards of four journals, the Board of Directors of the International Telecommunications Society, and the Research Advisory Committee of the National Regulatory Research Institute. His publishing credits include over fifty articles and three books.
Dr. Train has been active in each step of the national movement toward the restructuring of energy and telecommunications markets. Since his work in the DOJ v. AT&T case, which led to the 1984 AT&T divestiture, he has examined telecommunications customers’ choice of supplier, price options, and services and has also served as an expert witness on these issues in proceedings on intraLATA toll and local competition. In addition, he examined the impact and implications of pilot programs for energy competition and analyzed the introduction of retail competition in California, Pennsylvania, and elsewhere. His work in energy has included analysis of customers’ choice of energy supplier in competitive retail markets, marketing of new services, the value of service reliability, time-of-use prices, the efficiency of transmission and distribution operations, weather normalization of electricity sales, end-use load shapes and demand-side-management program evaluation.
Dr. Train has extensive experience as an expert witness in litigation and regulatory proceedings. His testimony has included environmental damage assessments, lost sales analysis, merger analysis, and measurements of efficiency.
