Cain Polidano has a Masters Degree in Agricultural Economics from the University of Sydney and is completing his PhD in applied microeconometrics at Monash University. His PhD topic is on motivations and health and employment benefits from volunteering. Before joining the Institute, Cain worked part-time as a consultant with the Monash University Statistical Consulting Service.

Prior to commencing his PhD, Cain spent 8 years working as a Research Economist with the Productivity Commission and the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics (ABARE). In this time he undertook analysis across a broad range of policy areas, including corporate governance and regulatory analysis, greenhouse gas abatement, energy policy, international trade, land-use change and labour market reform. Some of this analysis was published in reports for international organizations such as the World Bank, the International Labour Office and the OECD.
