Anke Leroux

Welcome to my homepage!

I am an environmental and natural resource economist and Associate Professor at the Department of Economics at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia. I am particularly interested in economic behaviour and problems of optimal natural resource use and conservation under risk, uncertainty, and irreversibility. I use theoretical and experimental approaches and have applied my research on climate change adaptation to inform policy on optimal land use, food security, biodiversity and habitat conservation, water and energy management.  

I obtained my PhD from the University of Cambridge, where I was a Gates Scholar. I am an Editorial Council member of the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management  and Co-Editor of Environmental and Resource Economics.
