Welcome
My name is Elisa Rottner and I am an economist working on environmental and climate economics. As an applied econometrician, most of my work aims at detecting the causal effects of climate policies on manufacturing firms. Aside from ex-post policy evaluation, my interest lies in the intersection between trade and the environment. I have particular expertise in working with administrative micro-data, specifically the German Manufacturing Census.
I am a researcher at the ZEW - Leibniz-Centre for European Economic Research in Mannheim, Germany. I obtained my PhD from the University of Basel, Switzerland, in December 2023.
