Research

Advancing the science and design of market-based mechanisms by quantifying the strength of the economic signals they generate.

I lead a research group at Imperial College London that develops globally spatially resolved, data-driven simulation and optimisation models to quantify the strength of the economic signals generated by market-based mechanisms and answer the below questions.

1

Can market-based mechanisms generate economic signals that correct market failures constraining low-carbon innovation?

2

Can those economic signals redirect capital towards low-carbon innovation?

3

Can market-based mechanisms improve the commercial viability of low-carbon innovation?

4

Is the resulting economically viable abatement sufficient to achieve a sustainable transition?

5

Can the resulting economically viable demand trigger market adoption and diffusion of low-carbon innovations?

6

How can existing market-based mechanisms be enhanced to maximise their impact?

7

What new market-based mechanisms are needed to address emerging climate and investment challenges?
