Forskning i miljöekonomi vid EEU, GU Beteendeekonomi med värdering och experimentell ekonomi Styrmedelsforskning (val och utformning)
Forskning i miljöekonomi vid EEU, GU Beteendeekonomi med värdering och experimentell ekonomi Aim: Develop theory/models for better explanation of human behavior in social dilemmas Purpose: Provide more relevant policy instrument recommendations. Behavior concerning e.g. trust, social norms, identity and self image concerns, risk perception and risk regulation, discrimination and the influence of gender relations What determines cooperation, in particular self-control, risk preferences and trust How institutional design affects cooperation and resource use Valuation Methodology develop theory, laboratory and field experiments
Styrmedelsforskning Selection and design of policy instruments Command and control (administrativa, rättsliga styrmedel), Economic policy instruments (e.g. taxes vs tradable schemes), Information disclosure, labelling (informativa styrmedel) Regulative compliance, enforcement and monitoring, sanctions (genomdrivande, övervakning och tillsynsstrategier) Indicators and criteria for design and evaluation of policy instruments (target achievement, efficiency, cost-efficiency, distributional effects, political acceptability ethics and fairness) Externa relationer 2012-
Styrmedelsforskning Examples of research projects. Design for: Linking of tradable schemes Design of combinations of policy instruments Multiple pollutants Discounting (sectoral and relative prices) Risk and (deep) uncertainty Incentives under behavioral approaches (e.g. relative income) Experiments on enforcement, monitoring and verification Externa relationer 2012-

Sammanfattning Fokus på beteendeekonomi, experimentell ekonomi, styrmedel och tillsyn Fokus på mikro snarare än makro (undantag internationella förhandlingar och klimatpolitik) Fokus på bottom-up snarare än top down (undantag internationella förhandlingar och klimat) Tillämpad forskning (sakområden): Inte så mkt anknytning till Sverige eller svensk politik (undantag NOx avgift, studie om styrmedel för fiske Gullmarsfjorden ) Externa relationer 2012-
