Terry Barker is an international authority on the theory and application of large-scale economy-energy-environment (E3) models, which he has developed for the United Kingdom, and the European Union.Fact|date=September 2008 With the help of the models, he applies empirical analysis to international trade theory and to policies for the mitigation of greenhouse gases using economic instruments. Dr Barker has also held various research and editorial positions under the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control (IPCC) and he was one of the contributors named by the IPCC when it won the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007 [ [http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2007/press.html Nobel Peace Prize] ] jointly with Al Gore. Since 2005, he has been the Director of the Cambridge Centre for Climate Change Mitigation Research (4CMR) [ [http://www.landecon.cam.ac.uk/research/eeprg/4cmr/index.htm Cambridge Centre for Climate Change Mitigation Research (4CMR)] ] , part of the Department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge. He is also the Chairman of [http://www.cambridgeeconometrics.com/ Cambridge Econometrics] , having helped to found the company in 1985, and the chairman of the Cambridge Econometrics Trust for the Promotion of New Thinking in Economics, a charitable organisation to which he donated control of the company. The trust ensures that the company's view of economic theory is adhered to and applied in its work. This view is distinctively not neoclassical (that is, not mainstream) and is summarised in the objectives of the trust. He is also a member of the Editorial Board of Economic Systems Research.Fact|date=September 2008

In his work for the IPCC, he was a Co-ordinating Lead Author (CLA) for the chapter on cross-sectoral mitigation in the Fourth Assessment Report, 2007. He had been a CLA for the Third Assessment Report, 2001, taking responsibility for the chapter on the effects of greenhouse gas mitigation policies on the global energy industries. He was a member of the core writing team for the Synthesis Report Climate Change, 2001. Since 2000, he has instigated and worked on projects building a global E3 model (E3MG) with initial emphasis on modelling the E3 structures of China and Japan.Fact|date=September 2008 Since 2004, he has been working as member of a UK Tyndall Centre project to develop E3MG as a 20-region world model, designed to analyse GHG mitigation policies under endogenous technological change. In the 1990s, he was appointed the Project Co-ordinator of the pan-European project developing and applying an E3 model for Europe (E3ME), partly funded by the European Commission, analysing energy and fiscal policies including the equity effects of environmental fiscal reform. Previously he was Principal Investigator for projects funded under the UK ESRC’s Global Environmental Change Programme ‘Developing an E3 model of the UK economy’ and ‘Greenhouse gas abatement through fiscal policy’. He worked with Professor Sir Richard Stone, the Nobel Laureate in economics, in the Department of Applied Economics of the University of Cambridge, succeeding him in 1983 as the director of the [http://www.econ.cam.ac.uk/research/cgp/ Cambridge Growth Project] , a team of economists within the department that developed the original MDM structural model of the British Economy. His current research interests include: real carbon prices, induced technological change and long-term economic growth; systematic modelling of policies to achieve the UK 60% CO2 reduction target; ex post evaluation of the UK Climate Change Levy; understanding and projecting UK investment in good-quality combined heat and power; and the effects of global warming on energy demand.
