The complex relationship between the economic system and our environment is the focus of our research. In partnership with  the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) at the Oxford Martin School, the Oxford Energy Network and Climate Econometrics, we explore the use of economic instruments to promote environmental quality; the role of markets in pricing externalities; and the cost effectiveness and impact of regulation designed to facilitate environmental performance.

Our research encompasses a broad range of approaches. Our work on sensitive intervention points – where a modest action triggers an outsized response – could help to accelerate the transition to net-zero, while we also lead solutions-led research into economically, socially and environmentally scalable greenhouse gas removal options.
