quantitative frameworks, capable of efficiently linking economic activities to changes
in environmental variables, and at various levels of aggregation. This person will
ensure that databases are maintained to support this framework, and carry out
appropriate model calibrations; make use of this modelling framework, undertake
quantitative analysis of important policy work currently being undertaken in the
Directorate, including periodic Environmental Outlooks, climate change, and sectoral
economic reforms (e.g. transport, agriculture); and, draft and defend reports based on
these analyses; and, ensure effective and efficient use of the human resources
allocated to the activity. The successful candidate will have an advanced university
degree in economics, combined with at least 10 years' practical experience in
