Elie Gerschel

Welcome!

I am a PhD Candidate in Economics at the University of Zürich. 

I work on environmental economics, using both theory and empirics. My Job Market Paper looks at international trade in used cars with a dynamic model that includes environmental and redistributive effects. 

David Hémous and Josef Zweimüller are my main supervisors. 

I am on the 2025/2026 Job Market.

Before the PhD, I worked as a research assistant at the World Bank for Pierre Bachas, and at CREST and Institut des Politiques Publiques under the supervision of Pierre Boyer. Here you can find my CV.
