Emily Quiroga​

I am a doctoral candidate in economics at the University of Hamburg. My research interest focus on designing mechanisms to promote  adaptation of communities to global challenges. These challenges encompass a wide range, including social issues like inequality and conflict, as well as environmental concerns such as natural disasters and sustainability. I am particularly interested in drivers of economic behavior that foster adaptation of individuals and communities to these global issues.  I approach these topics from both theoretical and empirical perspectives, using techniques  such as bio-economic modelling, experimental economics and discrete choice experiments. 

 

My current research focuses on evaluating changes in individual risk preferences following the 2023 earthquake in Turkey. Additionally, I contribute to construct a theoretical framework to improve the measurement of adaptation in socio-ecological systems.
