Dr Robert Metcalfe

Dr Robert Metcalfe

His research focuses on applied microeconomics, with particular reference to behavioural economics and environmental economics. Some of the work he is currently carrying out is valuing non-market goods by differing measures of utility, determining the impact of experience on people’s preferences, and examining the role of monetary and non-monetary incentives on energy and environmental behaviours. He is also interested in the role of field experiments in regulation and evaluation.

Rob received first-class undergraduate and postgraduate degrees from the University of Wales Swansea and London School of Economics respectively, and received a PhD in Economics from Imperial College London. He has also worked as an economist in the Government Economic Service. He joined the Smith School in November 2009.
