Nadia Ameli is an experienced researcher on economic, finance and policy aspects of climate change and related energy issues. Her work explores the cross-cutting role of finance in the global transition to a low-carbon economy, with a particular emphasis on avenues for integrating finance elements into climate policy design.
Nadia applies complexity thinking and systemic approaches to the study of market structures for low-carbon finance, to identify points of policy intervention that lead to non-linear investment growth. Nadia is the PI of an ERC Starting Grant on the role of climate finance to foster the low-carbon transition. Her research has also supported work at several international public policy organizations, including the OECD, the European Commission and the United Nations.
Nadia completed her PhD in Business Administration at Polytechnic University of Marche and University of California, Berkeley (co-tutorship of doctoral thesis) with a focus on energy financing policy. Her research interests include climate finance, financial networks, policy evaluation methods, financing schemes, low-carbon investments and energy policy.
