Kai Lessmann

Kai Lessmann leads a research group on Public Economics and Climate Finance at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. His research agenda addresses the implementation of climate policies, ranging from game-theoretic analysis of climate agreements to the analysis of second-best and fiscal interactions of climate policy instruments. More recently, his research has shifted to questions of mobilizing private finance and aligning climate policy with frictions in the financial system.
