Research Focus

I am an environmental economist that focuses on applied and conceptual issues surrounding the efforts to incorporate the value of nature in policy processes and decision making.

My professional and academic work and public activities since 2010 focus on non-market valuation, biodiversity, space and policy. It concerns public values of nature protection, biodiversity improvements in agriculture or nature based solutions to climate adaptation in cities. My research aims to inform policy in CZ, UK, EU and globally. Methodologically, I specialise in the use of spatial non-market valuation methods and natural capital accounting, but I also havesolid knowledge of other valuation approaches (monetary, non-monetary) and their applicability in decision making context.

Non-market valuation; choice modelling; economics of ecosystems and biodiversity; natural capital accounting; governance of ecosystems; sustainability
