Public Economics
Prof. Dr. Beat Hintermann: Public Economics
Our team is engaged in a number of activities across the field of public economics. Each team member works on at least one project. While some researchers are funded by the department, others are part of projects financed by the SNSF, BFOE or the WWZ Förderverein. Most of our current research takes place in two fields:
(1) Measuring and understanding individual transport decisions and the implications for emissions, accidents and congestion in the transport sector
(2) Investigating the effectiveness of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme and identifying the causal effect of environmental policy on people and firms
