Environmental & behavioral economist. I am the PI of the Green Tipping ERC Consolidator grant on using social tipping interventions to spur climate cooperation.
Great start to a working week for me & my coauthor Florian Wagener: our paper 'Markov-perfect equilibria in differential games -- with an application to climate policy' has been accepted at @reveconstudies.bsky.social! It's the first top-5 for either of us, so this is an important moment. 🥳🍾 1/11
