Hua Liao was born on October 12, 1980, and is currently a professor at Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research (CEEP), Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT). He has long been engaged in the education and research in the fields of climate change economics and policy. He received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Tianjin University in 2002 and 2005, respectively, and obtained his Ph.D. from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008. Prof. Liao has led over 10 research projects form National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and National Social Science Foundation of China (NSSF).
His research is dedicated to integrating "climate governance and socio-economic development. His key contributions include: (1) Fundamental climate economics theory: proposing and proving the "Baumol's climate disease" theory; (2) Long-term cross-system macroeconomic modeling and decision-making: structurally endogenous climate-economic dynamic system modeling and optimization, and risk decision-making under multiple climate tipping points; (4) Micro-agent behavior and energy-saving/carbon-reduction policy assessment: proposing incentive-compatible energy efficiency indicators and measurement methods, and the impacts of climate change on household and their adaptation behaviors.
Based on the above research, Prof. Liao has published over 100 papers in leading economics and climate journals such as Climatic Change, Climate Policy, Ecological Economics, Decision Analysis, Environmental and Development Economics, European Economic Review, Global Environmental Change, Journal of Environmental Economics and Management (JEEM), Weather-Climate and Society, and World Development. He serves on the editorial boards of 12 academic journals, including Energy and Climate Change, etc. He has co-chaired major academic conferences such as the Chinese Annual Conference of the Chinese Economic Association (Europe/UK), CEEP-IIASA Joint Workshop on Energy and Climate Economics, and the Sino-UK Workshop on Climate Change Economics.
Prof. Liao teaches undergraduate and graduate courses including The Way of Economic Thinking, Energy Economics and Climate Policy. Since 2010, he has supervised the graduation of 15 Ph.D. students and 27 master students. The co-authored textbook Energy Economics won the Second Prize of the First National Outstanding Textbook Award. He has been recognized as an Outstanding Postgraduate Supervisor in Beijing. Over half of his Ph.D. graduates had joint-training experience of over one year in USA universities during their Ph.D. program.
Prof. Liao has a long-standing and close collaborative relationship with University College London (UCL). Since 2021, he has co-hosted three Climate Change Economics Forums with the Bartlett School of Sustainable Construction at UCL, one of which was held in Beijing and two in London. In 2025, he led a CEEP-BIT delegation to visit the UCL School of Sustainable Construction. In January 2026, he paid a short visit to UCL as a visiting scholar.
