Since 2017, he has taught about the energy, infrastructure and project finance markets as an adjunct professor of finance at New York University's Stern School of Business, and he recently joined the National Center for Energy Analytics in March 2024 as a Senior Fellow and a member of its Board of Advisors.

40
Years in Energy
Paul Tice is a veteran finance executive, spending 40 years in capital markets and energy investment analysis on Wall Street at some of the industry’s most recognizable firms, including J.P. Morgan, Lehman Brothers, Deutsche Bank/Bankers Trust, and BlackRock. Spending his time both as a top-ranked sell-side research analyst and a buy-side investment manager in the energy sector, he developed expertise in how to evaluate the financial performance and investment outlook of energy producers, climate policy, and the financial offshoots of environmental regulation.
His areas of expertise include energy financing, capital markets, ESG investment frameworks, and the economic effects of certain transition policies. His book, The Race to Zero: How ESG Investing Will Crater the Global Financial System, discusses his criticisms of the “sustainable investing” movement alongside the financial and economic consequences of a world highly focused on net-zero climate policies and ESG-driven investment strategies.
Throughout his career, Tice has contributed commentary and research on energy finance and investment trends. His opinion pieces have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Examiner, the New York Post, the Epoch Times, Real Clear Energy, and The Hill. He has also participated in industry conversations and policy discussions focused on the future of energy markets and financial regulation.
In addition to his role at NCEA, Tice teaches courses related to energy markets, infrastructure, and project finance at the Stern School of Business at New York University, where he serves as an adjunct professor.
He holds an MBA in Finance from the Stern School of Business at New York University and a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania.

"Decarbonization is synonymous with degrowth, deindustrialization, and depopulation. A world without fossil fuels would not be a better or more just place to live. To the contrary, it would resemble a Pieter Bruegel painting of hell.”
