Ref. no. SoSS-2024-006
First Supervisor: Dr Claudia Aravena.
Department: Economics
Campus: Edinburgh
In its commitment to tackle climate change through decarbonization of the economy, the United Kingdom and other countries have set the ambitious goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Some policy mechanisms considered are carbon pricing and carbon markets (e.g. cap-and-trade schemes, voluntary carbon markets). This research project aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the design and effects of carbon pricing instruments through a multidimensional approach, looking at the complex interactions between carbon pricing policies and their broader socio-economic and environmental implications. Specific research topics include, but are not limited to: impacts of carbon pricing and markets on industry decision-making and competitiveness; economic growth, equity, justice, social opposition/acceptability; impacts on vulnerable communities and effectiveness in emissions reduction. The project is open to single or multi-country analysis, with a special interest in comparing developed and developing countries. The research may use quantitative and qualitative analysis involving advanced econometrics, surveys, and interviews.
In addition to meeting the general criteria for PhD entry, applicants for this project should have an MSc in Economics or a closely related area.
