Associate Professor
Environmental Economics
Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM)
Netherlands
I obtained my PhD in 2015 at the Environmental Economics department of the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM). My dissertation focused on the efficiency and effectiveness of policy instruments for the procurement of environmental services. Since 2014, I have been working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Erasmus University Rotterdam (Fiscaal Economisch Instituut) and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL), mainly working on the topic of environmental taxation. My current work includes running economic lab and field experiments on the allocation of subsidies in (agri-)environmental management schemes to groups of landowners, and ex-post evaluation studies on the effects of vehicle taxation on consumer behaviour in the Netherlands. I am a lecturer in ‘Governance of Ecosystem Services’ and ‘Environmental Economics' (ERM and AUC).
