Climate Econometrics

The Climate Econometrics project develops new econometric methods and applies these to climate-economic problems. We focus on disentangling complex relationships between human actions and climate responses and their associated economic effects.

Econometric Modelling and Forecasting

Our modelling approach, supported by stringent model evaluation techniques, tackles all the complications of ‘real world’ economies, to provide a viable framework for empirical modelling that avoids many of the difficulties faced by ‘conventional’ approaches.

Macroeconomics and housing

We illuminate the roles of housing in the economy, emphasizing the importance of institutional arrangements (differing greatly between economies), and on how changes in house prices and mortgages in turn affect economic outcomes.

Modelling Structural Breaks

A key aspect of the financial crisis was the lack of fore-knowledge, so analyses of forecasting in the face of breaks, during breaks and of breaks themselves remain a central focus.
