AboutAbout the lab
Using socioeconomic methods to solve everyday problems.
The Environmental Economics Lab covers a wide range of areas, including the natural environment, the food environment, and risk environments, and uses socioeconomic methods to conduct research aimed at solving everyday problems.
Its main methods are social surveys and data analysis. By revealing people's unrevealed preferences, the lab explores ways to make better institutions and consensus building possible.
The lab also works on international comparisons of the promotion of organic farming, and on research that evaluates in monetary terms the benefits that humans and society receive from the natural environment.
