With our teaching, we seek to stir students’ enthusiasm for the possibilities in which economic theories & empirical methods can help to better understand & manage sustainability challenges. We further actively contribute to the societal debate & help to improve public policy.

We publish our work in general economics journals (e.g. AEJ: Policy, JEL @AEAjournals), field journals (e.g. JEEM @JEEM_tweets), & interdisciplinary journals (e.g. NCC @NatureClimate, PNAS @PNASNews, Science @ScienceMagazine).

We draw on a diversity of methods, including theory, modelling & empirical approaches (surveys, experiments, quasi-experimental designs), often in international, interdisciplinary & transdisciplinary cooperation.

(iv) accounting for the limited substitutability of nature when measuring & managing sustainable development.

(iii) analysing fundamental preferences and sustainability-relevant behaviours, &.

(ii) exploring concepts of intergenerational justice, such as to improve estimates of the social cost of carbon,.

Our group seeks to inform & support the transition to sustainable futures. We currently focus on 4 areas:.(i) studying the efficacy and distributional effects of environmental policies,.

If you seek to drive innovation, act responsibly, live inclusively, nurture well-being, build bridges & enable people to support the transition to sustainable futures, then the Sustainability Economics Group @ETH @d_mtec might be the right place for you!.

You have strong analytical and communication skills & excellent methodological expertise in one or more of the following areas: econometric analysis of observational data, surveys and economic experiments, applied theory, or integrated environmental-economic modelling?.

You have a PhD (or close to completion) in Env. & Res. Econ. @EAERE_envecon, or related fields, & you are passionate about pursuing innovative research on sustainability challenges? You are also excited about sharing your expertise with students, decision-makers & society?.

We're advertising a PostDoc position in the Sustainability Economics Group at @ETH Zurich (1-6 yrs, >$100K salary), offering excellent conditions to pursue innovative research & prepare for a professorship. Please spread the word to interested candidates:

I have learned a lot in the process & hope that the paper will be a source of inspirations for those interested in the environment, inequality & beyond! Many thanks for helpful comments i.a. to @pierbasaglia, @bjoernbos, @ArikLevinson, @LinusMattauch, @FrikkNesje.

The 3 channels determine how both environmental quality & economic inequality matter for policy appraisal. We argue that it is crucial to consider inequality-environment linkages in economic research & policy design, as neither issue can be fully understood in isolation.

We .(1) describe how environmental benefits vary with household income;.(2) discuss how the cost of environmental policy is distributed across households;.(3) consider how income inequality & redistribution shape environmental outcomes.

In this paper, we synthesize conceptual mechanisms that underpin inequality-environment linkages and take stock of the relevant empirical evidence. We hereby consider 3 channels of interaction:.
