Dr. Ann-Kristin Reitmann

I am a postdoctoral researcher (Akademische Rätin a. Z.) at the Institute of Health Economics of Leibniz University Hannover. I am affiliated with the University of Passau, where I optained my doctoral degree with my thesis "Empirical essays on the role of social norms and individual attitudes in a developing country context: Determinants, consequences and measurement". 

As an applied microeconomist, I use experimental and quasi-experimental methods to address research questions related to sustainable development. My research covers topics on gender, environmental conservation, climate change and informal insurance, and is mainly set in a developing country context using primary data. I am also interested in impact evaluations of infrastructure projects and survey experiments to explore the role and measurement of individual preferences and social norms.
