Borenstein has been a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), in Cambridge, MA, since 1992 and served as co-Director of NBER's research project on e-commerce in 1999-2000.  Prior to coming to Haas in 1996, he taught at the University of Michigan and University of California at Davis.  He has won awards for undergraduate and graduate teaching, and in 2005 received UC Berkeley's Distinguished Faculty Mentor Award for graduate student mentoring. 

Borenstein's research focuses broadly on business competition, strategy, and regulation.  He has published extensively on airline, oil and gasoline, and electricity markets, as well as on insurance, e-commerce, mining, natural gas, and other industries.  Borenstein's recent research has focused on competition and profitability in the airline industry, the impact of oil prices on gasoline markets, alternative models of retail electricity pricing, and the economics of renewable energy and climate change.   

He is currently a co-editor of the Journal of the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists.
