PROFILE

My main research interests are in the area of applied environmental economics. This included measurement of environmental externalities, the possible adjustment of national accounting welfare measures to incorporate such costs, and the effective design of environmental policies Issues that I have focussed on include the economic basis of climate change policy, including impacts and adaptation assessment, and air and water pollution. I am currently undertaking a contingent valuation study on changes in mortality risks relating to the regulation of air pollution for the European Commission. 

Country experience has included work on a number of projects in developing countries and in economies in transition - including green accounting and training in Russia, environmental expenditures in Ukraine, sustainable development consequences of greenhouse gas mitigation in Hungary and a training workshop in Sri Lanka. I was part of a UK Government (DFID) project evaluation team for a sustainable development plan of Recife, Brazil and the surrounding river catchment area. I have also undertaken training and CBA in China and have written a paper for UNEP on the consequences of energy subsidy reform in developing countries.
