About Yang Xia

I had my BS in economics, MS in sustainability, both from the University of Leeds, and a doctorate in ecological economics from the University of East Anglia, where my research interest lies in assessment of the socioeconomic impacts of health outcomes resulting from disasters such as heat-waves and air pollution. I'm now handling manuscripts on socio-economics, climate-related health risks, climate policy and sustainability.
