About

Andrew Jackson is a research fellow in the Centre for the Understanding of Sustainable Prosperity (CUSP) at the University of Surrey. Part of Andrew’s research focuses on modelling the macroeconomic, sectoral and financial impacts of different types of energy transitions, with a particular focus on understanding the interactions between transition risks, technological change, and green investment and its financing. A second part examines the sustainability of public debt during energy transitions, and explores how fiscal and monetary coordination can prevent unsustainable increases in public debt.

Background

Andrew holds a PhD from the University of Surrey, and a master’s and bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Sussex. He is currently a co-investigator on the EU Horizon funded project Models, Assessment and Policies for Sustainability (MAPS). He was previously a co-investigator on the ESRC funded Rebuilding Macroeconomics project ‘Modelling transition risk: developing an agent-based, stock-flow consistent, input-output macroeconomic framework’. Prior to completing his PhD and starting work at CUSP, Andrew spent several years working as Head of Research for a think tank that specialises in research into monetary and banking systems.
