Grischa Perino’s research interests include several areas in environmental, climate and applied micro-economics. In particular, he’s interested in instrument choice, intrinsic motivation to protect the environment, preferences for environmental policies and environmental innovations. The methods used in his research tend to build on applied microeconomic theory and survey-based experiments.

Grischa Perino co-chairs the project ‘Dynamics of Climate Governance’ within the Cluster of Excellence ‘Climate, Climate Change and Society’. He also chairs a project within the Kopernikus-Project ARIADNE funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

He is an expert on carbon market design and in particular the Market Stability Reserve in the EU ETS. He has advised the European Commission (DG CLIMA), the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and the German Environment Agency on the matter.
