• Institution: University of Graz
• Research Focus: Environmental Economics, International Economics, Transport Economics, CGE Analysis

His recent work (2002) examines environmentally sustainable transport, foreign trade impacts of road pricing, and economic growth-transport linkages. Earlier studies (2001–1997) explore biomass energy applications, car-sharing behavior, and cross-sectoral environmental policy effects.

Key methodologies include CGE modeling, empirical preference analysis, and policy simulation. Collaborations span institutions like the OECD and Austrian ministries, with co-authors such as B. Friedl, F. Breuss, and K. Farmer.
