What do researchers in Economics do?
As a PhD candidate in economics I witnessed that this is obscure to most of the people. And as research is a passion for me I really wanted to share with you, one day in my life to shed some light on the mystery.

During this day, I will show you my routine. I work from home and at the office, I share with colleagues ideas, follow seminars and teach.

On that day I followed a fascinating seminar by Laurence Kotlikoff which I summarize in the video. He shows what was wrong with the approach to compute the optimal way to tax CO2 so far. Then, he suggests a better approach which represents better reality. Finally, he shows how to tax Carbon in such a way that all the generation benefit from this equally.
