Research interests: non-market valuation, stated preference methods, experimental and behavioral economics.
Education and affiliations
I am an assistant professor at the Faculty of Economic Sciences at the University of Warsaw. Since 2021, I am the head of the Department of Microeconomics. I received a PhD degree in economic sciences at this faculty in 2018. In 2013, I graduated with my Master’s in economics at the University of Vienna in Austria and at the University of Warsaw in Poland.
I am currently a visiting research scholar at the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, funded within the Bekker Programme of the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange. I was a visiting doctoral research scholar at Clark University in Worcester, MA, funded by the Fulbright Junior Advanced Research Award (2018); a doctoral research scholar at the University of Tennessee, TN, funded by the Doctoral Stipend Etiuda 4 of the Polish National Science Centre (2017-2018); a doctoral research fellow at the Wirth Institute at the University of Alberta in Canada (2016-2017); and a visiting research fellow at the Adam Smith Business School at the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom within Dekaban-Liddle Junior Fellowship (2016).
Research
I focus on the use of survey methods to estimate values of non-market public goods, and, in particular, how the survey design can be enhanced to increase validity and reliability of the estimates. I apply the valuation methods in a wide range of fields—primarily to environmental economics, but also to cultural economics, transportation and retirement schemes, among others. I conduct field valuation surveys as well as lab experiments.
Currently, I lead the project “Accuracy of travel cost method in non-market valuation of public goods” funded within grant Opus 19 of the Polish National Science Centre and participate in the project “Co-designing inclusive mobility (CoMobility)” funded by the National Centre for Research and Development in Poland. My former research project participation includes, for example, leading the project “Incentive compatibility in contingent valuation research” funded within grant Preludium 8 of the Polish National Science Centre and co-investigating in the project “Assessing the impact of format on choice experiment responses” funded by the Support for the Advancement of Scholarship in Canada.
My research has earned several awards and scholarships, including Prime Minister’s Award for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation, Scientific Award 2019 of the Journal “Polityka”, stipend of the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education, stipend “Start 2018” of the Foundation for Polish Science and Oded Stark’s Award 2017 for Excellence in Publishing.
