Jan Witajewski

I am assistant professor at the Faculty of Economic Sciences, University of Warsaw, Director of Warsaw Ecological Economics Centre and consultant at the World Bank.

Since 2019 I am a lead author of IPCC 6th Assessment Report, chapter 16 (innovation and technology transfer)

My research interests include growth, climate change and energy, labour, technological change and applied econometrics.

In 2015 I have received PhD from European University Institute, with my thesis supervised by Arpad Abraham and Ramon Marimon.

Previously I obtained degrees from London School of Economics (BSc) and University of Cambridge (MPhil). In academic year (2011/12) I participated in European Doctoral Programme at London School of Economics where my advisor was Professor Francesco Caselli.

Since 2018 I am the coordinator and lecturer of Advanced Microeconomics course (compulsory for Master students). I have also teaching experience, from the European University Institute (where I was Teaching Assistant for Professor Nicola Pavoni and Professor Arpad Abraham; the two courses were for the first year PhD students) and from the London School of Economics (Teaching Assistant for Professor Alwyn Young, the course was taught for the undergraduate students)

I also compose classical music (for piano, organs and choir). See youtube videos below.
