ECI Climate Research ThemeProfile
As a James Martin Fellow, Cameron is working on solutions to long-term climate policy problems, such as the absence of a clear carbon price signal for business post 2012. He is also writing a much-needed textbook on Climate Change Economics and Policy (with Dieter Helm). At the policy coal-face, he is assisting the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change and is involved in advising OECD governments on their discounting frameworks, which determine how a balance is struck between short-term and long-term public objectives. Background
Cameron is an environmental economist specialising in climate policy and long-term decision-making. He holds first class degrees in Law and Chemical Engineering from Melbourne University, an MPhil in Economics from Magdalen College, Oxford and a DPhil in Economics from Nuffield College, Oxford (as a Rhodes Scholar).
In addition to his teaching and research fellowships at Oxford, he is actively involved in public policy as a member of the DEFRA Academic Panel, the Ofgem Environmental Economists Panel and occasionally provides advice to OXERA, the economics consultancy. He was recently interviewed on BBC Radio 4 Analysis. He sings with Schola Cantorum of Oxford, with whom he has toured in Mexico (2004) and Argentina (2005) and has appeared on BBC Radio 3 in the 2005 Choir of the Year Competition.
