How does climate change impact the distribution of wealth? In Nature Climate Change we map out the impact channels.

There's a lot we don’t know yet & much depends on how societies decide to allocate burdens & upsides of climate change. 1/6

Who carries the burden of climate change? Heterogeneous impact of droughts in sub‐Saharan Africa Droughts can dramatically affect economic activities, especially in developing countries where more than half the labor force is in the agricultural sector. This paper highlights the causal impact of...

The first chapter of my PhD entitled **Who carries the burden of climate change? Heterogeneous impact of droughts in sub-Saharan Africa** has just been published in the *American Journal of Agricultural Economics*.

Here is a summary of my findings!

Explainer: Will global warming ‘stop’ as soon as net-zero emissions are reached? - Carbon Brief Warming is likely to more or less stop once net-zero emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) is reached, meaning humans have the power to choose their climate future.

I have found this Carbon Brief explainer to be a great resource for explaining this, and answer further questions (eg. what about aerosols ? methane ? tipping points ?)
www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-wi...

I have had the experience that a lot of economists and students, although well informed about climate change, believed warming to be locked-in as described in the blog post.

Interesting paper ! I'm curious if you take a stance on population ethics related to choice of welfare function (as mortality changes the size of population). It seems you are taking a different approach with the VSL

Good textbook for entry level env econ: Keohane & Olmstead Markets and the environment

You had a hunch climate change impacts would increase economic inequalities? You were right!

Can coastal and marine carbon dioxide removal help to close the emissions gap? Scientific, legal, economic, and governance considerations In this Policy Bridge, we present the key issues regarding the safety, efficacy, funding, and governance of coastal and marine systems in support of climate change mitigation. Novel insights into the ...

We spent 4 years working on this paper about the scientific, legal, economic, and governance considerations of whether coastal and marine carbon dioxide removal can help close the emissions gap. Please take a look and tell me if it was worth it. 🌊

Lots of pretty cool PhD positions at the University of Leipzig within the DFG-funded Research Training Group ECO-N, including two (co-)supervised by me.

In this paper, I study a very fundamental question of macroeconomics: to what extent can seasonality in GDP time-series be attributed to fluctuations in temperature?
