My name is Elisa Rottner and I am an environmental and climate economist. I work as a postdoctoral researcher at the ETH Zürich in the Sustainability Economics Group. My work centres around studying the effects of climate policies, using both methods from applied microeconometrics, and methods borrowed from international trade. I am a junior research associate at the ZEW - Leibniz Centre for European Economic Research and hold an add-on fellowship at the Joachim Herz foundation.
