Niklas Schoch

Niklas Schoch is a PhD candidate in economics interested in the interplay of climate policy interventions and firms’ technology choices. In his thesis, he evaluates the incentives of firms to adopt green technology in response to carbon pricing schemes in varying competition environments. To do so, he is estimating a structural model of dynamic imperfect competition, using data on fuel consumption and green investments of industrial installations in France. Prior to joining Sciences Po, he obtained a master’s degree in economics from the University of Mannheim and worked on energy policy as a consultant at the Institute of Energy Economics at the University of Cologne and the International Energy Agency.
