Kathryn Smith

Kathryn Smith’s research interests and expertise focus on the economics of climate policy design and assessment. They include the effective mix of price- and non-price policies to address different mitigation issues, potential tensions and synergies between efficiency and equity in national and global climate and energy policies, and technical issues associated with using cost benefit analysis to assess global and national mitigation strategies.

Previous career positions include working as a Special Adviser during a pivotal period of climate change policy development in the Australian Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency, and as a macroeconomist at the Reserve Bank of Australia.

Kathryn holds an MSc in Environment and Development (with distinction) from the London School of Economics and Political Science and Bachelors degrees in Economics (with first class honours) and Science from the Australian National University.
