About

My goal is to make useful conceptual and empirical contributions to a fuller understanding and more comprehensive statistics of the economy, especially in the domain of natural resource values, natural resource income and external costs - for academics, policymakers, NGOs, media and the public. In my academic work I also specifically focus on the role of information for public opinion and preferences for environmental and other public policies.


Current Work

I am interested in how legal frameworks are driving natural resource use and environmental and economic outcomes, including distributional outcomes. A main current focus is on concepts and empirical methods to organize and analyze natural and environmental capital stocks and income from natural and environmental capital in Switzerland.


Independence

Independence is important to me. Above all, I feel responsible towards the people, in my country and elsewhere.


Collaboration

I am always interested in collaboration with other researchers working on related topics. Please contact me.
