Marco A. Janssen
Associate Professor in the
School of Human
Evolution and Social Change
Director of the
Center for the Study of Institutional
Diversity
Marco is interested how institutional arrangements related to common
goods are crafted, adjusted and fit within the social and ecological
context. By combining comparative analysis of case studies, lab and
field experiments and agent-based modeling he pursues these questions in
a wide diversity of applications especially environmental resources and
public health.
