Overview
The Climate Econometrics team develops both econometric methods to support empirical analysis at the cutting edge of research, and climate applications based on powerful and innovative empirical models and their implications. Statistical and mathematical methods are employed to disentangle complex relationships between human actions, climate responses, and their associated economic effects. They aim to improve our understanding of the impact of humanity on climate and vice versa, and addressing how humanity should respond to the climate crisis. They also bring together climate econometrics researchers through an international research network.
The team develop and apply econometric tools for analysing and forecasting rapidly changing settings such as greenhouse gases, surface and ocean temperatures and sea level rise, and have published widely on the resulting methods as well as on a strategy for achieving net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions, showing its application to the UK. A recent Science paper by CE associates has attracted considerable interest.
The core team is directed by Dr Jennifer Castle, with Sir David Hendry, Dr Jurgen Doornik and Professor Felix Pretis, cooperating closely with the Calleva project at Magdalen College of Dr Xinjia Hu, Ebba Mark, Jonas Kurle and Kasper Pedersen. Interaction with climate policy processes internationally and nationally is led by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). The project is supported by an international advisory board.For enquiries please contact Angela Wenham:
