About Me
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Basel in Switzerland, working at the intersection of Environmental, Development, and Health Economics. My research asks how environmental change affects people and how policy can respond. I study the ecosystem impacts of climate change and what they cost the communities that depend on them, how environmental degradation and pollution affect human health and productivity, and how effective climate policy is in addressing these problems. I am particularly passionate about combining spatial data, remote sensing, and machine learning with econometric micro-analyses and an inter-disciplinary approach.
In December 2025, I successfully defended my PhD in Economics (Summa Cum Laude). During my PhD, I was supervised by Beat Hintermann and financed through grants by the Swiss National Science Foundation. During my PhD, I also spent time as a Visiting Scholar at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health with Christopher Golden, the University of California in Santa Barbara supervised by Tamma Carleton as well as at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile with Juan-Pablo Montero.
Alongside my research, I work as a policy consultant on climate, energy, and development with BSS Economic Consultants in Basel, and I have been engaged in international climate policy for many years. I enjoy bringing research in Economics, Economic History and Policy to audiences beyond academia. For inquiries, feel free to get in touch via the contact form or at roman [at] romansieler.com.
