Congratulations, Simon Bolz!
Simon Bolz und Promotionskommission
Congratulations to Simon Bolz on the successful defense of his dissertation, “Essays on Globalization, Welfare, and Environment”!
The dissertation explores, across four chapters, how the international division of labor, market structures, and trade policies affect the effectiveness of national climate policies. One of its highlights is undoubtedly Chapter 2, “Unilateral Environmental Policy and Offshoring,” co-authored with Fabrice Naumann (LMU Munich) and Philipp M. Richter (University of Mannheim and JMU Würzburg) and published in the Journal of International Economics.
Everyone at the Chair of Economic Policy and Economic Research is delighted to celebrate this achievement with Simon Bolz and wishes him all the best—not least in his future career!
