Research
My research interests are in the area of agriculture, environment and development, focusing on:
Education
NEW: registration open for the MG3S course "Irreversibilities, Uncertainty, and Real Options"
My educational tasks include teaching the annual course on Environmental Economics for Environmental Scicnes and to contribute to the course Environment and Development. I also did coordinate the EU-funded education and research project Asia-Link-RECREATE and am the coordinator at Wageningen University for the EURASIA project.
