Kamiar Mohaddes (born May 26, 1981) is a Swedish-Iranian macroeconomist at the University of Cambridge.[1][2] He is a specialist of the economic impact of climate change and more generally energy economics[3], and his work in the area has been covered in major news outlets including the BBC[4], the Financial Times[5], and the New York Times[6] among others.[7][8]
He has served as the Deputy Director of the Cambridge Executive MBA programme since 2023 and is an Associate Professor in Economics & Policy at the Cambridge Judge Business School since 2019.[2] In recognition of his teaching contributions, Mohaddes was one of five recipients of the 2023 Cambridge Judge Business School Excellence in Teaching Award. [9]
Mohaddes is also a Fellow of King's College, Cambridge[10][11] where he co-founded the King's Entrepreneurship Lab, a venture incubator which aims to “be a College pioneer in education, learning and research of entrepreneurship and innovation”. [12][13][14]
He consults for a variety of external organizations including the Asian Development Bank, the Bank of Canada, and is regularly a Visiting Scholar at the International Monetary Fund.[15]
Education and Career
[edit]Mohaddes obtained his Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Economics from the University of Warwick in 2004.[2]
In 2006, he received his Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Economics from St. John’s College at the University of Cambridge. He continued his education the University of Cambridge, obtaining a PhD in Economics in 2011 as a Gates Scholar under the supervision of Hashem Pesaran.[2][10]
Currently, Mohaddes serves as a fellow at the Circular Economy Centre (CEC) and the Cambridge Endowment for Research in Finance (CERF) at the Cambridge Judge Business School. He is also an associate researcher with the Energy Policy Research Group within the same institution. Since 2016, he has held the position of Executive Secretary of the International Iranian Economic Association (IIEA).[16]
Academia
[edit]Mohaddes is notable for his work on applied macroeconomics of climate change and sustainability, having covered these topics in both English and Persian. In 2023, he received the Sandra Dawson Research Impact Award for his significant contributions to creating real-world impact through research on the economics of climate change.[17][18][19]
Climate Change
Mohaddes' research has shown that the impact of climate change could cost the world 3% of growth, with the United States being more impacted than previously thought.[20][21] His research also showed that an increase in average global temperature by 0.04 degrees Celsius per year will reduce world real GDP per capita by around seven per cent by 2100[22] and virtually all countries will be affected.[23]
Credit Ratings and Climate Crisis
In another study, Mohaddes proved that credit ratings were predicted to fall sharply as a direct consequence of the climate crisis.[24][25] This has led him to advocate strongly for rapid policy changes to mitigate these impacts in an interview for the Washington Post.[26]
Other Research Interests
In addition to his work on climate change and energy economics[27], Mohaddes has worked on the macroeconomics of Arab countries[28], with a particular focus on Iran[29] and on fiscal policies during the COVID-pandemic.[30]
