I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Prague University of Economics and Business. My research employs experimental, quasi-experimental, and other econometric methods to study how energy reforms and public policies shape household behavior, welfare, and environmental outcomes. I employ a wide range of approaches including randomized controlled trials (RCTs), natural experiments, policy evaluation techniques (DiD, matching, IVs, Markov modeling), as well as cost-effectiveness and welfare analysis.
My research particularly emphasizes the intersection of energy and climate policy with household welfare. I study electricity pricing reforms such as increasing block tariffs and subsidies, behavioral interventions like nudges and peer comparison reports, and cross-sectoral spillovers across electricity and gas. I also examine issues of energy insecurity, including how outages affect children’s health and how pricing reforms can unintentionally push households toward dirtier fuels.
Beyond academic contributions, I have conducted policy evaluation analyses for the European Commission, Eurofound, DG HOME, and other international organizations, providing evidence-based insights into policy analysis.
In addition to research, I have extensive teaching and mentoring experience. I have lectured at Charles University in Prague, Westminster International University in Tashkent, the Management Development Institute of Singapore, and Prague University of Economic and Business. My courses cover Econometrics, Statistics, Policy evaluation, Microeconomics, Energy and Environmental economics, where I also mentor students in applying empirical methods to real-world policy challenges.
I have published as both a first and last author in respected journals, including Environmental & Resource Economics (first author), Climate Change Economics (sole author), Environment, Development and Sustainability (sole author), Eastern European Economics (2, first author), and the Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education (last author), among others.
