Bruno Lanz serves as Full Professor of Applied Economics at the University of Neuchâtel's Faculty of Economics and Business, where he directs the Institute for Economic Research. He maintains significant research affiliations with MIT's Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research and ETH Zurich's Center for Integrative Risk Management and Economics, demonstrating his international scholarly impact and collaborative approach to addressing complex economic challenges.
Dr. Lanz earned his PhD in Economics from ETH Zurich, complemented by Master's degrees from the University of Lausanne and University College London. His educational trajectory reflects a strong foundation in both European and international economic perspectives, preparing him for interdisciplinary research that bridges theoretical economics with practical policy applications.
Lanz's research program centers on environmental and energy economics, with particular expertise in climate change policy design, behavioral aspects of energy efficiency, and public policy evaluation. His work employs a diverse methodological toolkit including laboratory and field experiments, empirical analysis of large datasets, and sophisticated numerical modeling to address pressing issues in sustainable development. He has made significant contributions to understanding information asymmetries in energy markets and the economic dimensions of climate adaptation strategies across multiple scales.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent trend toward increasingly interdisciplinary research connecting climate science with economic analysis. Lanz frequently employs experimental methods to study behavioral responses to environmental policies while developing sophisticated macroeconomic frameworks to assess long-term climate adaptation strategies. His work spans multiple analytical levels from individual decision-making processes to global economic systems, demonstrating remarkable methodological versatility and substantive depth.
