Hector Pollitt is the head of modelling at Cambridge Econometrics. He is a post-Keynesian economist with specific expertise in macro-sectoral economic modelling. He is currently researching linkages between post-Keynesian economics and complexity theory. At Cambridge Econometrics, Hector Pollitt oversees the application of the E3ME macro-econometric model, which treats the economy as a dynamic system that both shapes and is influenced by technological development. Using the E3ME model, he has carried out high-level policy analysis for public authorities at UK, EU and global levels. He has worked with the European Commission for over ten years and provided inputs to the recent assessment of the EU's long-term decarbonisation strategy. His other recent work has shown how the development of low-carbon technologies could lead to long-run economic benefits. For example, his modelling for the 2018 New Climate Economy report suggested that limiting global temperature change to 2°C could create $26trn of additional wealth by 2030
