CRISTINA pEÑASCO

WELCOME TO MY HOMEPAGE!

I am Cristina Peñasco and I am a Senior Research Economist at the Centre for Climate Change of the Banque de France. I am also an Associate Professor in Public Policy at the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge and Director of Studies in Economics at Queens' College Cambridge (currently on leave). As part of my network activities, I participate as a Centre Fellow at Centre for the Environment, Energy and Natural Resource Governance (C-EENRG) hosted at the Department of Land Economy, and I am also associate researcher of the Bennett Institute for Public Policy (University of Cambridge). I hold a PhD in Economics from the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) (Spain). 

My research lines bring together multidisciplinary research in environmental economics, innovation policy and energy economics in green and energy efficiency technologies, with a focus on the evaluation of policy instruments enabling the transition to decarbonised economies. Lately I am becoming interested in the modelling of transition risks with a focus on technological risks.
