Research Interest

The intersection of economics, environmental science and innovation studies. Past work includes dematerialization and recycling, ecological-economic modelling, construction of aggregate indicators, and spatial/international aspects of environmental policy. Work in recent years involves evolutionary economics and innovation, and economics of climate change. The first covers issues like common pool resource use, social-technological transitions to sustainable energy, and optimal technological diversity. The second addresses evaluation and costs of climate policy and climate insurance.
