Prof. Dr. Florian Diekert: Environmental Economics

Welcome to the Environmental Economics Lab

We design, analyze and test strategies for sustainable and resilient development. Our work revolves around socio-ecological systems under pressure. A particular emphasis is on groups decisions under strategic and natural uncertainty. We use economic experiments, theory and statistical analysis, integrate teaching and interdisciplinary research, and connect theory with practical advice.
