Chris joined NZIER in September 2007. Chris has a Bachelor of Engineering/Commerce double degree with First Class Honours in Economics from the University of Melbourne, and a Master of Science in Agricultural Economics from the University of Hohenheim, Germany. Chris has significant experience in economic modelling. He helped develop NZIER’s CGE model of the New Zealand economy, and was co-author of NZIER’s quantitative analysis of the proposed emissions trading scheme. Previously, he developed a model to assess social welfare issues within the Australian credit-card system, and used a multi-agent system model to assess water policy issues in Chile. In addition to applying economic modelling to a wide range of topics, Chris has completed economic impact analysis, econometric modelling and pricing model development for a range of clients. |
