Katarina Elofsson

Katarina Elofsson is a researcher in environmental economics. Her research is about international, national and regional environmental policy for water quality management, hunted wildlife, large carnivores, invasive species and climate. The studies have applications to agriculture, forestry and energy use. Her research deals with environmental policy, such as policies for water quality management, biodiversity, invasive species and wildlife management, carbon sequestration and climate policy, preservation of arable land, and multilevel governance in environmental policy.

Katarina works with one externally funded, ongoing research project: Pathways to climate friendly co-existence of food and bioenergy, funded by the Swedish Energy Agency.

Katarina supervises two doctoral students:

Bahre Kiros, with the PhD project Essays on the economics of climate change adaptation and natural resource use, and

Ida Nordin, with the PhD project Pathways to climate friendly co-existence of food and bioenergy.
