Details

I am a climate economist, studying when and how climate affects human (im)mobility and risk of conflict. To this end, I apply approaches from causal inference in econometrics, GIS and systematic literature review. The overarching goal of my research is to improve adaptation strategies that minimize welfare losses in a changing climate. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, including World Development and Global Environmental Change.

I earned my PhD in Economics at the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) and the University of Potsdam. During my PhD, I have conducted research stays at Columbia University and Yale University. I hold a Master’s degree in Economics from Tilburg University and a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics and Social Sciences from the Vienna University of Economics and Business.
