Postdoctoral Researcher, ETH Zurich
Welcome!
My name is Sarah Spycher and I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at ETH Zurich as a part of the Sustainability Economics Group. I completed my PhD in 2023 at the University of Bern and then spent two years at the University of Bologna as a SNSF-funded Postdoctoral Researcher.
In my research, I am interested in how political economy frictions hinder more successful environmental policy. As such, I primarily work at the intersection of environmental economics and political economy, using both theoretical and experimental approaches.
