Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Sustainability
  • Microeconomics

Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh focuses on Environmental economics, Public economics, Sustainability, Microeconomics and Public policy. Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh interconnects Natural resource, Empirical research, Psychological resilience and Land use in the investigation of issues within Environmental economics. His work deals with themes such as Climate change, Emissions trading, Carbon price, Bounded rationality and Sustainable consumption, which intersect with Public economics.

He has included themes like Evolutionary economics, Neoclassical economics, Externality and Sustainable development in his Sustainability study. His work on Returns to scale as part of his general Microeconomics study is frequently connected to Variable and Policy analysis, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. In his research, Economic growth, Ex-ante, Consumption and Equity is intimately related to Per capita, which falls under the overarching field of Public policy.

His most cited work include:

  • Ecological-economic analysis of wetlands; scientific integration for management and policy (504 citations)
  • Spatial sustainability, trade and indicators: an evaluation of the ‘ecological footprint’ (487 citations)
  • Handbook of Environmental and Resource Economics (348 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Natural resource economics, Sustainability, Climate change, Environmental economics and Microeconomics. His Natural resource economics research includes themes of Peak oil and Environmental resource management. His Environmental resource management study incorporates themes from Goods and services and Biodiversity.

As part of the same scientific family, Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh usually focuses on Sustainability, concentrating on Green growth and intersecting with Degrowth. In his study, Externality is inextricably linked to Public economics, which falls within the broad field of Climate change. The study incorporates disciplines such as Evolutionary economics, Empirical research and Renewable energy in addition to Environmental economics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Natural resource economics (23.04%)
  • Sustainability (19.48%)
  • Climate change (23.75%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Climate change (23.75%)
  • Renewable energy (13.30%)
  • Natural resource economics (23.04%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Climate change, Renewable energy, Natural resource economics, Public economics and Carbon tax. His Climate change study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Energy policy, Efficient energy use, Framing and Public policy. His work carried out in the field of Renewable energy brings together such families of science as Wind power, Microeconomics, Fossil fuel, Photovoltaic system and Environmental economics.

His Environmental economics research includes elements of Economies of agglomeration and Knowledge sources. Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh focuses mostly in the field of Public economics, narrowing it down to topics relating to Public opinion and, in certain cases, Positive economics, Degrowth, Critical mass and Operationalization. Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh has researched Carbon tax in several fields, including Climate policy, Emissions trading and Bounded rationality.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Implications of net energy-return-on-investment for a low-carbon energy transition (47 citations)
  • Implications of net energy-return-on-investment for a low-carbon energy transition (47 citations)
  • Perceived fairness and public acceptability of carbon pricing : a review of the literature (21 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Microeconomics
  • Sustainability

Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh spends much of his time researching Renewable energy, Natural resource economics, Climate change, Fossil fuel and Public economics. The Renewable energy study combines topics in areas such as Empirical evidence, Photovoltaic system, Microeconomics and Wind power. While the research belongs to areas of Natural resource economics, he spends his time largely on the problem of Carbon tax, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Unemployment, Equity, Climate policy and Emissions trading.

His work on Climate change mitigation as part of general Climate change research is frequently linked to Social media, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His studies deal with areas such as Carbon capture and storage, Efficient energy use, Per capita and Return on investment as well as Fossil fuel. The various areas that he examines in his Public economics study include Fertility, Global environmental analysis, Externality, Overpopulation and Consumption.
