Solving environmental problems faces also societal and political challenges, highlighting the role of incentives, political actors, and the role of society as an electorate.

Our work

We design novel approaches to include political economy considerations in models and implement survey and experimental designs to elicit public opinion and preferences to understand the driving forces and implications of environmental policy proposals. Embedding societal dynamics and behavior into the modelling and policy evaluation works is crucial to understand issues such as policy acceptance, and distirbutional and other socioeconomic implications.
