The Climate Policy department of the DIW Berlin assesses the design, implementation, effect and governance of policy instruments for the transition to climate neutrality

The Climate Policy department of the DIW Berlin seeks a Postdoc (f/m/nonbinary) to pursue and lead innovative analysis and engage in dialogues with stakeholders and policy makers on the next generation of policy instruments with a focus on the industry or power sector. One new aspect to consider are emergency market interventions implemented in response to the energy crisis resulting in a new risk allocation between public and private actors as well as between countries. What are the implications for design of policies for the transition to climate neutrality with respect to distribution of costs and benefits, public acceptance, and financing costs?
