Environmental and natural resource economics

Environmental planning, climate mitigation, risk and value of life, land sharing, catastrophe aversion etc...

Topics of research include the economics of natural resources (notably water resource management, growth and climate change, and energy transition); the evaluation of public policies (including the issue of risk and uncertainty in cost-benefit analysis); the political economy of the environment; economics and biology (notably human-environment interactions); behavioral environmental economics.
