Hector Pollitt
Associate director at Cambridge Econometrics
Hector Pollitt is an associate director at Cambridge Econometrics with extensive experience in the development and application of macroeconomic modelling tools for impact analysis. He holds overall responsibility for maintenance of CE’s European E3ME model and for CE’s development of the global E3MG model. Recent applications of these models include contributions to the European Commission’s communication on the decision to move to a 30% GHG target and to assessments of revisions to the EU’s Energy Services Directive and Energy Taxation Directive. The models have also been used explicitly to assess carbon leakage and border mechanisms. Hector has also recently carried out detailed reviews of current state-of-the-art modelling approaches for policy analysis and led on the creation of the UNFCCC’s model inventory and the most recent version of the European Commission’s IA Tools model database.
