Raphael Filippelli

Raphael Filippelli serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Food and Resource Economics at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in environmental economics within the Section for Environment and Natural Resources. His work focuses on integrated environmental-economic modeling to support policy decisions for water quality management, agricultural pollution control, and marine environmental systems.

Dr. Filippelli's research centers on non-point source pollution from agriculture and water quality trading markets, with current expansion to concurrent environmental targets including nitrogen/phosphorus reduction, biodiversity conservation, climate mitigation, and recreation. He emphasizes the integration of economic and ecological factors to develop effective policy frameworks that balance multiple environmental objectives through rigorous modeling approaches.

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals consistent application of integrated models like TargetEconN/P for evaluating nutrient reduction policies and multi-goal land allocation. Key themes include cost-effectiveness of mussel farming for eutrophication control, scenario planning for climate-water-biodiversity synergies, and economic assessments of Danish water management strategies, demonstrating strong policy relevance through collaboration with national institutions.

Within the Section for Environment and Natural Resources, Dr. Filippelli actively contributes to national projects including the development of Denmark's land management model and policy guidelines for the Danish Water Plans and Western Baltic Sea initiatives. His collaborative network spans Danish research institutions and government bodies, focusing on translating economic analysis into practical environmental solutions through interdisciplinary approaches.
