During his stay at CESifo, Daniel Heyen will continue his research on early warning systems for ecosystem collapse. In particular, he is interested in the optimal design and value of such early warning systems. More generally, he is looking forward to exchanging with CESifo members on research ideas on decision-making under uncertainty, game theory and the environment, and the economics of climate change.
