Current Research
Georgina's current research falls under three themes:
- Emission trading in the road transport sector (in collaboration with Dr David Bonilla);
- Comparison of price and quantity controls to reduce CO2 emissions in the road transport sector; and
- Harmonisation of transport taxes and duties, to include all modes across all EU countries.
