Assistant Professor

Wageningen University and Research

Welcome!

I am an Assistant Professor with the Environmental Economics and Natural Resources Group, Section Economics, Wageningen University and Research. My research aims to inform and evaluate environmental policies, both formal and informal arrangements, in two ways: (1) by testing policies in a controlled way prior to implementation (main methodology: economic experiments) and (2) by evaluating the effects of existing policies (main methodology: impact evaluation). Currently, I am working on issues related to common pool resource management (i.e., fisheries and agroforestry), biodiversity conservation (i.e., conservation of migratory species and protected areas), and climate change (i.e., climate engineering and climate adaptation). More details regarding the different projects I have been and currently part of can be found below.
