About
Economist working on the macroeconomics of climate change, public finance and production networks.
Leonarda Srdelić is an economist and a lecturer at Zagreb School of Economics and Management (ZŠEM). She holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Siena. Her research covers the macroeconomics of climate change, public finance and production networks.
Her work spans climate and sustainable public policy, green transition instruments such as the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and environmental taxation, and the adaptation of the economy to climate risks. She develops climate stress tests and assesses how natural disasters and climate trends affect public finances, fiscal sustainability and economic activity. Her analysis of climate risks also draws on geospatial tools, from carbon footprinting to the georeferencing of assets.
Before joining ZŠEM, she worked as a research fellow at the Institute of Public Finance, and previously at the Croatian National Bank and as a climate risk modelling adviser in the private sector.
She uses R, Python and Quarto for automated data retrieval, analysis and reporting, and Git and GitHub for version control. The platforms cro-stat.com and cro-climate.com are built on the same principles, and this website was built with Jekyll.
Outside work she is often outdoors, hiking, running, rollerblading, playing volleyball and table tennis, skiing and taking photographs.
