“Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition”

(Adam Smith)

The focus of my research lies at the interface between environmental and political economics. I investigate questions in the area of public acceptance of financing measures for climate damages or public support for carbon taxes. My aim is to answer socially relevant questions using state-of-the-art empirical methods. In this way, I help to ensure that political decisions can be made on the basis of scientific findings.
