Comedy bio for Yoram Bauman (yur-AHM BAUW-min)

Please edit as you see fit: the shorter the better! And if you want the correct pronunciation of my name (I’m not particular about it, so don’t worry unless you want to), listen at Namedrop and/or note that my first name rhymes with “your MOM” or “dot COM”. (Sadly, the domain name yoram.com is already taken.) Also, for the record I’m not a Professor; the easiest thing to say is that I’m an environmental economist, but if you really want a fancy title then go with Dr. Bauman.

Yoram Bauman, “the world’s first and only stand-up economist”, performs regularly at colleges and corporate events, sharing the stage with everyone from the late Robin Williams to Paul Krugman. He has appeared in TIME Magazine and on PBS and NPR, and is the co-author of the Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change, the Cartoon Introduction to Calculus, and the two-volume Cartoon Introduction to Economics, which is now available in Mandarin, Mongolian, and a dozen other languages. Speaking of foreign languages, he also founded the humor session at the annual meeting of the American Economic Association.

Yoram lives in Salt Lake City and works on economics and climate change policy in Utah, including with Clean The Darn Air, a grassroots effort to put a clean-air-and-climate measure on the ballot. Before moving to Utah in 2017, he spent 20 years in Seattle and co-chaired the Initiative 732 effort, which put the first-ever carbon tax measure on a statewide ballot in the United States. He has a BA in mathematics from Reed College and a PhD in economics from the University of Washington. His goals in life are to spread joy to the world through economics comedy; to reform economics education; and to implement carbon pricing.
