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 have particular expertise in working with administrative micro-data, specifically the German Manufacturing Census.
