Keynote Speaker

Professor Peter Dixon, Centre of Policy Studies, Victoria University

Professor Peter Dixon took up his present position as Professor at CoPS, Victoria University, in 2014. His PhD was awarded by Harvard in 1972 and his thesis was published in North Holland’s Contributions to Economic Analysis series. After working at the IMF and the RBA, Dixon joined the IMPACT Project in 1975 under the direction of Professor A.  Powell. With Powell, he was the joint recipient of the 1983 Research Medal of the Royal Society of Victoria in recognition of IMPACT’s outstanding contribution to social science research in Australia. He was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in 1982; awarded the Distinguished Fellowship of the Economic Society in 2003; appointed Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor by Monash University in 2006; and appointed Officer in the Order of Australia in 2014.

Peter Dixon is known internationally for his work in CGE modelling. Together with colleagues at IMPACT and CoPS, he created ORANI and its dynamic successor, MONASH. These models have been prominent in the Australian economic debate for 40 years and have been used as templates for the development of other models throughout the world. He is the principal author of the ORANI and MONASH books published in the North Holland Contributions series. In recent years he has led the development of the USAGE model of the U.S. which is used by the USITC and the departments of Commerce, Homeland Security, Agriculture and Transportation.

Dixon’s publication list contains about 240 articles and 9 books, including 3 North Holland Contributions monographs. He edited with D. Jorgenson Elsevier’s Handbook of CGE Modeling (2013).
