Overview
Georgina Santos is an economist interested in environmental and transport economics and public policy. She has conducted research on environmental taxes for air and road transport and on delays at airports and traffic congestion on roads, and more recently, on shared mobility and Mobility as a Service.
Georgina holds a first degree in Economics from Universidad Nacional del Sur (Argentina), an MSc in Environmental and Resource Economics from University College London and a PhD in Economics from Cambridge University. After completing her PhD, Georgina held a British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellowship in the Faculty of Economics at Cambridge University, jointly with a Junior Research Fellowship in Wolfson College. This was followed by a Departmental Lectureship at the Transport Studies Unit, in the School of Geography and the Environment at Oxford University. Georgina was also one of the first six fellows at the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment at Oxford University, before she moved to Cardiff University. Georgina’s research has been funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund, the European Commission, the European Regional Development Fund, the British Academy, Shell, the ESRC and the then UK Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions.
She has taught undergraduate and graduate students at Cambridge, Oxford and Cardiff, and supervised tens of dissertations at all levels. The courses she has taught in the past or currently teaches include transport, environmental and development economics with a focus on public policy, and research methods, both quantitative and qualitative. At Cardiff, she was nominated for the ‘Enriching Student Life Award’ in 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2020-21 and 2023-24.
Georgina was a member of the North Wales Transport Commission, which worked over 2022 and 2023. She was the Editor-in-Chief of Research in Transportation Economics from January 2013 to December 2018, and remains on its Editorial Board. She was also on the Advisory Board of the International Encyclopedia of Transportation from 2017 to 2021 and currently sits on the Advisory Board of Estudios Económicos. She is a member of the Editorial Board of Transport Policy, Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice, Future Transportation, Sustainability, Highlights of Sustainability and Challenges. She is also a member of the Scientific Committee of the WCTR, where she chairs Topic Area E: Transport Economics and Finance, and co-chairs the Special Interest Group on Pricing and Regulation. She was also a member of the Congestion Pricing Committee (2005 to 2016), and of the Transportation Economics Committee (2005 to 2013) of the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies in the US.
