Host's project description
Stefanie Engel is one of the world’s leading researchers in environmental economics, particularly in the field of the economics of ecosystems services. She investigates how individuals and groups treat their environment and natural resources, how their behaviour is influenced and how it can be controlled. To this end, she employs a broad spectrum of methods deriving, for example, from behavioural economics or game theory. At Osnabrück University, Stefanie Engel could invigorate the interdisciplinary Institute of Environmental Systems Research and help to guide the focus on “Governance of sustainable socio-ecological systems” to the international forefront. Stefanie Engel is a member of the Research Committee on Environmental and Development Economics of the “Verein für Socialpolitik”, the largest association of economists in the German-speaking world. She was also a member of the Task Force on Environmental Economics which is part of the Initiative for Policy Dialogue headed by Nobel economics laureate, Joseph E. Stiglitz.
