Research Interests
Georgina is interested in environmental and transport economics. She has conducted research on the role of governments in the internalisation of externalities, with a focus on air pollution, global warming, and traffic congestion.

1. Emission trading in the road transport sector in the EU;
2. Harmonisation of transport taxes and duties, to include all modes across all EU countries;
3. Congestion charging.
