The research group Environmental and Climate Economics develops integrated models to tackle tough and topical research questions on the boundary of economics, innovation studies and environmental sciences, aimed at fostering a rapid and full transition to a low-carbon economy. Specific applications deal with renewable energy, transport and urban form, while methodological emphasis is on behavioral and evolutionary economics, elaborated in the form of agent-based modelling. Current projects focus on assessing effective climate policy packages, redirecting international climate negotiations towards carbon pricing, and formation of international climate clubs. We also have a longstanding interest in the relationship between economic growth and the environment, in particular how this is affected by climate change and policy. |
