Episode 012: Jean-François Mercure & Hector Pollitt
Dr. Jean-François Mercure is Senior Lecturer in Global Systems in the Department of Geography at the University of Exeter. Hector Pollitt is Head of Modelling at Cambridge Econometrics, an organization that makes economic data meaningful for policy-makers. Their work shows how different fundamental assumptions regarding the finance sector and the nature of money, lead to climate-change models with radically different results.
