Strategic Macroeconomic Policy Interactions and the Optimal Design of Institutions

This PhD project is based on the theory of economic policy in a strategic context research agenda, which analyses (macro-)economic policy with the use of game theory, hence becoming essentially a theory of conflict resolution, social compromise and designing relevant institutions (Acocella et al., 2013).

Quantifying the likelihood of persistent extreme weather events in a changing climate

Background. Persistent extreme weather events such as heatwaves, cold snaps, or particularly rainy and/or stormy seasons have huge socio-economic impact; estimating the probabilities of their occurrence which can inform assessments of health or flood risks is therefore an important task. Read more

Compound Wind and Rainfall Extremes over Europe: understanding uncertainties from climate to financial risk

Background. Europe’s most damaging weather rarely occurs as a single hazard. Winter windstorms can coincide with heavy rainfall, severe events can cluster within weeks, and a single weather system can affect multiple countries. Read more

CENTA 2027-B25 Which floodplains are the most important? Characterising global connectivity between rivers and their flood corridors

When river flow is high enough to exceed the banks of its channels, it inundates the floodplain. Integrated over entire catchments, so-called river-floodplain exchange impacts a significant amount of the flow moving through river basins, carrying sediments, nutrients, and other materials. Read more
