Working papers and knowledge transfer
Current working papers include research on soil natural capital, flood-risk information and residential choice, sustainable payments for environmental services, and the role of motivations and peer effects in afforestation decisions.
I also contribute regularly to policy-oriented publications and reports designed to make research findings accessible to public authorities, practitioners and stakeholders.
