Data-driv­en in­sights on cli­mate and house­holds

My research explores how climate risks and household financial decisions shape markets and society. I study household short- and long-term responses following a shock to energy prices, highlighting the role of household heterogeneity, such as income, for a successful adaptation to the green transition. Extending this work, I seek to analyze firm-level electricity consumption to understand how businesses respond to changing energy incentives.  

I also examine the effects of climate policy on financial markets, with a focus on the European Emissions Trading System. By comparing EU and US firms within the same industries, I investigate how carbon pricing affects profitability and emission growth - key questions for the design of sustainable finance.

In­vest­ig­ates the im­pact of cli­mate risks, phys­ic­al and trans­ition, on for ex­ample fin­an­cial mar­kets, as­set val­ues, and house­holds.

House­hold Fin­ance

Stud­ies fin­an­cial de­cision-mak­ing and its im­plic­a­tions for house­holds, with a fo­cus on habit form­a­tion and in­equal­ity.

Big Data

Ap­plies large-scale high-fre­quency data (~500 mil­lion ob­ser­va­tions), eco­no­met­ric meth­ods such as dif­fer­ence-in-dif­fer­ences and in­stru­ment­al vari­ables, and con­tinu­ous-time mod­els like Black-Scholes to study fin­an­cial mar­kets.
