Kamiar Mohaddes is a macroeconomist at the University of Cambridge.[1][2] He is a specialist of the economic impact of climate change and more generally energy economics[3] and his work in the area has been covered in major news outlets including the BBC[4], the Financial Times[5], and the New York Times[6] among others.[7][8] He is an Associate Professor at the Judge Business School, and a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge[9] where he co-founded the King's Entrepreneurship Lab, a venture incubator. [10]

He consults for a variety of external organizations including the Asian Development Bank, the Bank of Canada, and is regularly a Visiting Scholar at the International Monetary Fund.[11]

Career[edit]

Mohaddes obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge and St John's College in 2011 where he was a Gates Scholar, under the direction of British-Iranian economist Hashem Pesaran.[12]

Academic work[edit]

Mohaddes is known for his work on the macroeconomic impact of climate change. His work has shown that the impact of climate change could cost the world 3% of growth, with the United States being also more impacted than previously thought.[13][14] His research showed that an increase in average global temperature by 0.04 degrees Celsius per year will reduce world real GDP per capita by around seven per cent by 2100[15] and virtually all countries will be affected.[16] In another of Mohaddes' studies, credit ratings were predicted to fall sharply as a consequence of the climate crisis.[17][18] As a consequence, Mohaddes strongly advocated for rapid policy change in an interview for the Washington Post.[19]

In addition to his work on climate change and energy economics[20], Mohaddes has worked on the macroeconomics of Arab countries[21] with a particular focus on Iran[22], and on fiscal policies during the COVID pandemic.[23]
