Biography
I am professor of environmental economics at the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau and associate researcher at ETH Zurich. I am an applied theorist working at the interface of decision theory and environmental economics.
My main research interest is in societal decision-making under uncertainty and learning. Key topics are the description of scientific uncertainty, the value of information and forecasts, the design of risk regulation, and the precautionary principle.
A second line of my research focuses on strategic aspects of environmental technologies with geoengineering (aka climate engineering) as an important area of application. Here my work has been on heterogeneous preferences and their implications for deployment and R&D equilibria.
Before joining the university of Kaiserslautern-Landau, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Integrative Risk Management and Economics at ETH Zurich and a postdoctoral researcher at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science. I completed my PhD in economics at Heidelberg University. My background is in mathematics and physics.
