Can trade mitigate climate change impacts?

If you find this question interesting you might take a look at my research. It focusses on international and environmental economics.

Research

My research focusses on international and environmental economics. I am using quantitative trade models based on the so-called gravity equation in order to derive numbers from theory. Therefore I link my educational background as an agricultural economist with my current work at the ==Austrian Institute of Economic Research== and the ==Kiel Institute for the World Economy==. For example, I use global gridded crop models to asses the impact of climate change on agricultural productivities and combine this with a gravity model in order to asses how different trade regimes can compensate negative welfare effects. Furthermore I am interested in econometrics of high-resolution and high-frequency data, e.g. ==remote sensing== and ==spatial data==.

Advisory Work

With the knowledge gained through research, I do advisory work for policy makers and institutions, such as the ==European Commission==, ==European Parliament==, ==African Development Bank==, or local ministries, such as, the ==German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs==, ==German Federal Foreign Office==, ==Austrian Ministry for Labour and Economy==. Dialogue with leading figures at the international, national, and regional level is aimed at incorporating socially relevant issues into my work and providing these actors with a sound informational basis for economic decision-making.

Vita

I am a research fellow at the ==Austrian Institute of Economic Research== and a postdoc at the ==Kiel Institute for the World Economy==. I hold a PhD in Quantitative Economics from Kiel University. Recently, I made a research visit at the ==Universtiy of California, Berkeley==, as a Fulbright Scholar.
