Welcome to my website!
My research interests lie in two different distinct fields.
The first relates to environmental economics. Using applied game theory and microeconometrics, I study how policy and civil society create incentives to achieve 21st-century environmental goals.
The second concerns political economics. The way institutions work plays a major role in the efficiency of resource allocation. From an institutional point of view, I am interested in studying the consequences of structural changes. From a political economy point of view, I am interested in studying the incentives and the abilities of the representatives to perform general well-being.
