Thrilled to share a new paper in the Journal of Agricultural Economics! With SRUC & iDiv, we use a labelled DCE to assess how farmer identities shape institutional preferences for privately financed grassland AECM. doi.org/10.1111/1477...

Cool new research piece by Julian Sagebiel, @jensrommel.bsky.social and @qrisschulze.bsky.social about pre-registrations for #DCE. Pre-regs are researchers' commitments to design, research question, hypothesis and data collection and can enhance research transparency.

Fun outing with colleagues 🧗‍♂️ Last September, a team from @zalf.bsky.social won 2nd place at the ProWissen 10K team race in Potsdam. Last Sunday, we redeemed our prize and went bouldering. Super fun! (with Juan Camilo Rivera-Palacio, @qrisschulze.bsky.social, Clara Rohde, and Johannes Schuler)
