New (2023): I have been awarded an ERC Consolidator grant titled Green Tipping on social tipping interventions and leveraging norms to accelerate the ecological transition. This means that I will be focusing on these topics (using theory, online, lab and field experiments) for the next 5+ years. Unfortunately, this means I will not be able to supervise students in the coming years.
My research spans several topics in environmental economics, primarily related to overcoming behavioural and political economy barriers to cooperation in the (climate) commons. This is tackled through a combination of non-cooperative and evolutionary game theory models, as well as laboratory experiments, surveys and simulations, in an effort to shed light on the potential solutions to environmental dilemmas. Particular attention is given to threshold effects and tipping points in catalysing (or hindering) cooperation.
