Welcome
My name is Sebastian Berger and I work at the University of Bern, Switzerland. Drawing on psychology, sociology, economics, and environmental science, my research aims to identify the key factors shaping individual and collective decisions in the realm of sustainability. In particular, I am interested in how behavioral externalities (e.g., excessive pollution, inequality) can be effectively addressed.

My work has been published in a diverse set of scientific outlets, among others in Nature Climate Change, Nature Human Behaviour, Science Advances, Global Environmental Change, Joule, One Earth, Journal of Environmental Psychology, Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, Journal of Economic Psychology, Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, or Environmental Research Letters.
Prior to coming to Bern, I completed post-docs in sociology at Stanford University (USA), in economics at the University of Lausanne (CH), and in social psychology at the University of Cologne (Germany), generously supported by the German Research Foundation and the Swiss National Science Fund. I was awarded a Diploma degree in Economics (Dipl.-Volksw.., 2008) and a Ph.D. in social and economic psychology (Dr. rer. pol., 2010, summa cum laude).
