Economic instruments and consumption

The project runs from 2016-2018

The project has three objectives:

• to build a macroeconomic model of the economy to help us understand and predict patterns of energy and resource use;
• to perform microeconomic studies of patterns of demand for individual goods; and
• to investigate the importance of consumption externalities in determining labour supply.
