Dr. Ulrike Kornek

Dr. Ulrike Kornek is a Senior Researcher. Her research interests are in environmental economics with a focus on international climate change economics. She uses analytical and numerical models to study the interaction of heterogeneous actors. Her research applies game-theoretical models that describe the consequences of different policy instrument and institutions on the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, she analyzes the design of optimal carbon prices in theoretical and numerical integrated assessment models.
