Carlo Fezzi

Education and affiliations

I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics and Management at the University of Trento and a Senior Lecturer at the Land, Environment, Economics and Policy (LEEP) Institute at the University of Exeter.

Previously, I was Visiting Professor at the Natural Resources and Environmental Management Department of the University of Hawaii Manoa (USA) and a Marie Curie Fellow at the Center for Economic and Social Research on the Global Environment (CSERGE) at the University of East Anglia (UK). In the first two years of my Marie Curie fellowship I was based at the Department of Economics at the University of California San Diego (USA).

I hold a PhD in Statistical Methodology (Applied Econometrics) from the Department of Statistics of the University of Bologna.

Research

My research is at the intersection of applied econometrics and environmental economics. I am interested in answering environmental policy questions using quantitative information and statistical methodologies grounded in economic theory.

Examples of my work are:

• estimating the impact of climate change on agriculture;

• developing spatially-sensitive models for valuing multiple ecosystem services;

• developing semi-parametric models for environmental valuation;

• developing methods for forecasting electricity prices and macroeconomic variables;

• estimating farmers' risk attitudes using crop insurance choice data.

I enjoy interdisciplinary research. I collaborate with environmental scientists, marine ecologists, hydrologists, geographers and, of course, economists and statisticians.
