Climate Change Economics aims to bring social cost benefit analysis to projects run by our clients. We hope that by exposing the underlying economic fundamentals we can inform the debate on the range of available options.
The insight of an insider
Our USP is the experience and knowledge that Peter Roscoe has gained as a senior economist with the British Government. His familiarity of policy-making in Climate Change from the inside gives him a unique perspective that can be used to the benefit of his clients.
His body of work includes the following:
Groundbreaking EU ETS Benchmarks research
Initial Smart Meter roll out impact assessment
Initial Green Deal impact assessment
Initial RHI domestic scheme impact assessment
Future of heating: evidence annex
Heat metering consultation impact assessment
Peter Roscoe is from Lancashire in North West England and was educated at Bolton School and the University of London.
Economics has been a life-long interest, ignited when his mother started passing newspaper clippings to him at an early age.
He pursued his education at the London School of Economics after receiving reports of the ‘punk economics’ being taught there – particularly by Michio Morishima, his future father-in-law.
