Suzi Kerr awarded prestigious NZIER economics award
Motu is delighted to announce that Suzi Kerr is the 2010 recipient of the prestigious NZIER Economics Award.
The award recognises Suzi’s outstanding long term contribution to economic issues of direct relevance to New Zealand.
Suzi’s work on environmental economics focuses on the use and design of market-based instruments to address environmental goals. Her topics of research, advice, and teaching include climate change mitigation, land use change, deforestation, the management of water quality, and fisheries management. An NZIER media release stated that Suzi’s research “has been characterised by an openness of mind, and a willingness to respect, consider, analyse, incorporate, adopt or reject, and disseminate, the ideas and concerns of a broad range of researchers, decision-makers and affected persons.”
Suzi is the second Motu senior fellow to receive this NZIER award. Arthur Grimes received the award in 2005.
Congratulations to Suzi from everyone at Motu.
