Examples of priority areas include:
Empirically explore how carbon pricing and climate finance impact economic competitiveness of firms and industries in Singapore.
Understand the speed and extent of adoption of internal carbon pricing practices, and other company-level climate finance related practices (including but not limited to ESG reporting).
Research how other countries have implemented carbon pricing schemes and what their impacts have been.
Support in conducting statistical and econometric analyses.
The above list is not exhaustive; moreover, at any given point in time the institute undertakes multiple projects in parallel and opportunity will exist to participate in a variety of workstreams that align with your interests.
Job Requirements
