Research

We do this through the expertise of our in-house academic research staff, as well as a network of academic and research staff across The Bartlett, the wider UCL community and around the world.
We also collaborate with other departments across UCL, including joint project development and co-supervision of PhD students.
Themes
Methodological research groups
We employ a wide range of qualitative and quantitative methods in our research. ISR also includes three research groups that focus on economic methods across projects and themes:

Macro-economic Modelling
Our research studies the inter-linkages between the economy and the environment, focussing on the use and management of scarce resources and assessing the impacts of resource and environmental policies on the economy.

Econometric Assessment
Econometric assessment focuses on the modelling and evaluation of natural resources, including food and energy. We cover a wide range of topics such as climate change, crop yield, trade, energy demand and energy efficiency, food systems, commodity markets, biodiversity and models for road traffic.

Behavioural Environmental Economics Team
This team brings together ISR staff and students who apply behavioural economics theories and techniques to promote sustainable and environmentally-friendly behaviours and choices.
