Collectively working across all eight themes
This project explore how digital consumers can be given control, access, and on what terms, to their data. The resulting governance system provides incentives throughout the value chain for economic resources to be allocated in their most productive uses in satisfying the consumers’ needs.
The multilevel economic paradigm provides an integrative framework of analysis that connects the economic, social and political domains and provides a distinctive understanding of wellbeing and progress.
The four fundamental drivers of flourishing: solidarity, agency, gain, and environmental sustainability, summarised by the acronym SAGE.
This work is studying the development of the set of ideas - and a set of policy-making capabilities - that made the Hawke-Keating reforms possible in Australia in the 1980s and 1990s.
This work studies how DSGE models could be made much more nearly fit for purpose.
This work has explored the origins of the US-led liberal multilateral economic order in the post-war world and the threats which that order now faces, drawing on contributions from academic international relations (IR) scholars and international economists.
The Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) program identifies low-carbon development pathways and policies for low and middle-income countries to achieve increased resilience, prosperity, innovation and equitable, science-based solutions to the sustainability challenge.
The Oxford Principles for Net Zero Aligned Carbon Offsetting (Revised 2024) are an essential resource to guide the design and delivery of net zero commitments by governments, cities and companies.
The programme focuses on solutions-led research into economically, socially, and environmentally scalable Greenhouse Gas Removal options.
Oxford Net Zero aims to transform policies and practices at multiple scales to co-achieve net zero emissions and sustainable development.
Building bridges between distributional data from micro sources and national accounts aggregates to provide estimates of the distribution of income and wealth consistent with macroeconomic national accounts, in collaboration with the Paris School of Economics and University of California-Berkeley.
We focus on developing methodologies to measure systemic risk and evaluating policies to design a more resilient financial system.
Equilibrium analysis underpins most of modern economic theory but if major economic downturns such as the 2008 crisis are rather caused by endogenous forces, this opens up the possibility for early-warning signals and targeted interventions. So, when is the equilibrium assumption reasonable?
We use network analysis and agent-based models to analyse and what policies could ease this transition for workers in this time of unprecedented change in labour markets
Our models are based on fine-grained data sets at the level of firms, products and industries, with the goal of providing a detailed understanding of the rich and heterogeneous behaviour underlying business cycles, inflation and interest rates, innovation, and long-run growth.
ABMs leverage the flexibility offered by computational simulations in order to avoid a number of problematic assumptions required by traditional modelling approaches.
Recent advances in the availability of cheap computational power and real-world data present researchers with an unprecedented opportunity to construct and test mathematical models of human behaviour.
This project examines the economic rationality, political feasibility and public acceptability of carbon pricing in the context of national economic objectives and fiscal policy.
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.
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.
This project explores how resources can be spent wisely in order to induce and accelerate clean energy innovation.
This research programme supported by the Resolution Foundation showed that while rich countries have faced common challenges in an era of globalization and rapid technological change, institutions and policy responses mattered in the extent improvements in incomes and living standards were shared.
This project focuses on energy technology portfolios, the predictability of energy transition progress, accelerating the energy transition and forecasting technological progress.
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.
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.
This research looks at both on understanding the necessary reforms to institutions, laws and regulations needed to ensure that those who work within the financial sector become, once again, more tightly bound by professional standards of behaviour.
This new project will model the physical, economic, sociological and political aspects of this transition to an entirely new energy network from an interdisciplinary perspective, seeking to understand the sensitive points that can accelerate it.
This project supported by the Nuffield Foundation investigated patterns of wealth transfer across generations in Great Britain compared with other rich countries and the implications for wealth inequality and taxation.
This programme on the drivers of economic inequality and how best to promoting inclusive growth was supported by Citi from 2016-21 as part of its research partnership with the Oxford Martin School.
