Niklas Schmelmer

Hello there, my name is Niklas and I am a doctoral researcher at the Department of Economics at the Helmut-Schmidt University. My research interests lie in development and environmental economics. Currently, I am especially interested in the environmental effects of FDI in host countries. Below are some projects I am working on right now or recently finished.
