Associate Professor Tiho Ancev

Research interests

I have a passion for the economics of agricultural pollution, as well as the economics of carbon.

I am interested in water economics, economics of carbon emissions and the design of carbon emissions trading mechanisms. I’m also interested in the use of GIS for environmental and natural resource economic analysis. I have recently been involved in water quality projects, both in Australia and abroad.

Background

Tihomir Ancev’s career began with completing a B.Sc. (Honours) in Agriculture at the University Saints Cyril and Methodius in Skopje, Macedonia.
