Research Focus

I am an environmental economist fascinated with biodiversity and its links with human society. My research focuses on both applied and conceptual challenges in integrating the value of nature into policy and decision-making. I specialize in non-market valuation (particularly choice experiments) and natural capital accounting. I have contributed to the revision of the System of Environmental Economic Accounting – Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) and the Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) initiative.
