Professor Elizabeth Baldwin
Tutorial Fellow in Economics
Roger Van Noorden Fellow and Professor in Economics
Elizabeth originally studied mathematics, completing her undergraduate degree in 2003 and a DPhil in 2006 at Oxford. After a spell as a postdoc in mathematics, she transferred her attention to economics, studying the MPhil and then the DPhil at Oxford, finishing in 2014. She joined Hertford after a postdoc at the Grantham Research Institute of the London School of Economics, as well as having held a Research Fellowship at Nuffield College, Oxford.
Undergraduate teaching
Elizabeth teaches microeconomics to Hertford undergraduates. She lectures part of the first year microeconomics course, and also a third year paper in environmental economics.

Research interests
Elizabeth’s research focuses on microeconomic theory and environmental policy, using advanced mathematical tools to inform auction and market design. Her designs have been applied in practice, in the Bank of England, the auctions which allocate subsidies for renewable energy, and in supporting food and habitat provision for turtle doves.
