He completed his undergraduate work at Yale University in 1963 and received his Ph.D. in Economics in 1967 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 2018 “for integrating climate change into long-run macroeconomic analysis.”

He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is on the research staff of the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Cowles Foundation for Research, and has been a member and senior advisor of the Brookings Panel on Economic Activity since 1972. Professor Nordhaus is current or past associate editor of several scientific journals.

He was Chair of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank for 2013-2015.

Professor Nordhaus has studied wage and price behavior, health economics, augmented national accounting, the political business cycle, and productivity.
His major work focuses on the economics of climate change, developing models that integrate the science, economics, and policies necessary to slow warming. These studies include the DICE and RICE models of the economics of climate change, which have been widely used in research on studies of climate-change economics and policies. Among his most important contributions is developing approaches that allow estimates of the appropriate emissions price for greenhouse-gases such as carbon dioxide, which are now used to price CO2 in more than 60 countries.
