Research interests
Beginning my working life as an economist in the UK Government Department of Environment, I have specialised in the Economics of the Environment at the University of Bath since 1998. My research is applied and relates directly to the formulation of environmental policy. I primarily work with inter-disciplinary research teams in Europe and around the world, and, for large donor organisations including the EC, OECD, World Bank and UNEP. I recently co-ordinated the EC DG Research project: Economics of climate change adaptation in Europe (ECONADAPT).
Current areas of interest include climate change risks, adaptation and mitigation in local and national contexts, and; non-market valuation, with focus on stated preference methods and value transfer.
Current Research projects:
- Wellcome Trust: Moving health and sustainability upstream into strategic urban development decision-making.
- Urban Land Institute/New Climate Economics: Supporting Smart Urban Growth: Successful Investing in Density.
- OECD: Socio-Economic Analysis of Chemicals: quantification and monetisation of morbidity and environmental impacts.
My research is in Environmental Economics and my two main areas of research interest are Non-Market Valuation and Project/Policy Appraisal in the context of climate adaptation. Specific areas of interest include the following:
Non-Market Valuation:
- Monetary valuation of disutility associated with morbidity and premature mortality
- Energy and Transport-related externalities, including energy security
- Green Accounting methods and applications
- Monetary valuation of ecosystems
- Economics of Crime
Project/Policy Appraisal:
- Cost-Benefit Analysis
- Portfolio analysis and Real Options analysis in Climate Change context
I am Research Co-ordinator for the Department of Economics.
