Remo Agovic
Background
I am a PhD candidate at the Institute for Political Science and the Wyss Academy for Nature at the University of Bern. I hold a BSc in Economics from the University of Bern and an MSc in Economics from the University of Zurich.
My research focuses on political science and economics:
- Substantive areas: the political economy of
community-based conservation in South America; community-based fire
management in Viet Nam; comparative research on conflict and land-use
dynamics; and narrative economics surrounding immigration
- Methods: causal inference using econometric and geospatial approaches, randomized controlled trials, survey and text-based experiments
Other than that, i love playing and recording music!
