The research Center of Economics and Corporate Sustainability (KU Leuven campus Brussels, CEDON) is looking for a motivated graduate student to carry out doctoral studies in the field of environmental economics in the context of biodiversity assessment.
The PhD project is part of the INVABIO project which is an interdisciplinary strategic research project including law, economics and ecology financed by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO). The general goal and main innovation of INVABIO is providing an individual-based perspective on biodiversity value assessment impacts both within and outside legal boundaries. Within the boundaries of the law, we investigate the role of biodiversity in permit application decisions. Outside the legal boundaries, we study the role of biodiversity in sanctioning decisions for biodiversity offenses, which include all violations of biodiversity conservation law.
While previous research has mainly looked at the value of protecting species and habitattypes, a focus on the individual specimen or individual habitat is required to enable case-specific policy implementation related to permitting and sanctioning decisions in Flanders. Specifically, the INVABIO project will take individual-specific, species-specific, habitat-specific and contextual elements into account in order to assess the value of an individual species or an individual habitat.
