Sustainable Economics
We are interested in the economics analysis of the transition to a more sustainable, energy efficient and socially responsible mode of economic behavior. We work on economic modelling in the areas of applied microeconomic theory, applied econometrics and finance covering these issues of green transition.
On the institutional side, our work is closely connected with the goals and visions of the European Green Deal. However we do not restrict ourselves to European issues, data and connections. We prefer to use global perspectives, global data and global research connections while contributing to solving the problem of adaptation and mitigation to global climate change.
Main directions of the research:
-
Energy economics (Karel Bruna, Karel Janda, Duc Khuong Nguyen, Paulo Rotella Junior).
-
Climate change economics (Karel Janda, Duc Khuong Nguyen, Quang Van Tran).
- Environmental, social and governance (ESG) economics (Gonul Colak, Karel Janda, Duc Khuong Nguyen, Petr Teply).
