Martin Benedikt Busch
University of CopenhagenI try to improve our understanding of how the structure of social and economic networks affects human behavior. I study how perceptions of one’s social environment shapes one’s decisions, why the structure of our environment matters, and how it evolves over time. Due to the endogenous nature of social networks, I use economic theory to disentangle competing effects that are usually not separable using observational network data. Whenever possible, I use the laboratory to test network effects in isolation.
Thomas Buser
University of AmsterdamI am an empirical microeconomist who is interested in the origins and economic effects of personality traits. I use a wide range of data collection methods including lab experiments and field experiments as well as administrative and survey data. I am particularly interested in the impact of individual traits on career choices and career outcomes and a lot of my research is concerned with individual differences in willingness to compete and reactions to feedback. I am currently an associate professor at the University of Amsterdam. I have published in leading economics journals including QJE and AEJ: Applied, and recently received an ERC Starting grant.

Inge van den Bijgaart
University of GothenburgI am an Assistant Professor at the University of Gothenburg. At the EEA conference, I will present a paper on fossil exploration and abandonment. In this paper, we establish that continued exploration of fossil resources need not be incompatible with leaving developed reserves unextracted. In fact, a first-best implementation of a carbon budget always involves such abandonment, and thus exploration that pushes developed reserves in excess of the remaining budget. Our quantitative analysis reveals that this abandonment amounts to 9-19% of current oil and gas reserves.
