Climate Change
This research focuses on the application of experimental economic laboratory methods to assess various policies for managing climate change.Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing people today, and as such is attracting worldwide attention. The main global response to climate change, the Kyoto Protocol, will require reductions in greenhouse gas emissions from signatory nations. Australia has set a target of 60 per cent reduction on 2000 levels by the year 2050.
Tools for reducing emissions may include carbon or emissions trading, offsets, and taxes and or subsidies to achieve desired outcomes. Experimental economics provides a way in which to examine possible outcomes of these tool before implementation.
Research Affiliations
Australian Rivers Institute
The Australian Rivers Institute (ARI) was established by Griffith University in 2006 to provide a focus for Australia's largest group of university-based scientists with expertise in river, catchment, and coastal research and education, and builds on the University's long-standing reputation in environmental science.
ARI is committed to promoting a "whole-of-water-cycle" water catchment and river-coastal linkage management philosophy and, through providing easier access to a co-ordinated skills base, enhancing capacity building initiatives in Australia and across the Asia-Pacific region.
