Ludovica Gazze

I am an environmental and health economist researching urban policy issues, such as lead poisoning.
Conserving resources and reducing pollution are among the most pressing challenges facing society. Designing programs to achieve these goals requires an understanding of 1) pollution damages and 2) individuals' and firms' compliance behavior.
I investigate these issues using large administrative datasets and experimental and quasi-experimental methods.

Thomas Gehrig

I am a Professor of Finance at the University of Vienna. I am also associated to CEPR (London), ECGI (Brussels), SRC (LSE) and VGSF (Wien).

My research focuses on information production and information aggregation in market economies. As such I am particularly interested in the role (and empirical performance) of banks as well as trading intermediaries in incomplete markets settings. My research on systemic risk has implications for regulation and resiliency enhancing policies.
