Marc Yeterian

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Environmental Economics Group at SLU. My work sits at the intersection of environmental, agricultural, and behavioral economics. Using a combination of microeconometrics and economic theory, I study how economic actors respond to climate shocks, and how these responses shape their resilience to future climate change, a dynamic sometimes referred to as the 'Doom Loop'

In my thesis, I studied the 'doom loop' through the lens of farmers’ adaptation to climate change, focusing on both market mechanisms such as insurance and physical strategies such as pesticide use. I am currently part of the EU VALOR research project (Horizon Europe), which aims to quantify the value of pollinator biodiversity in agriculture.

I greatly enjoy teaching and have sought to maintain a balanced teaching load throughout my doctoral and postdoctoral work. At SLU, I currently teach the course 'The Economics of Sustainable Development.' Previously, I taught 'Introduction to Microeconometrics' to master’s students and 'Microeconomics 101/201' to bachelor students at Dauphine University PSL in Paris. In addition, I taught a methodology course for international students for three years at Sciences Po Paris.

I hold a PhD in economics from University Dauphine PSL, which I completed in June 2025. Before that, I obtained two master's degree, one in economics and development from Dauphine University, and one in international economic policy from Sciences Po Paris.
