Fiona Bare
Bare studies the political economy of climate change using game theory, statistical inference, and qualitative methods. Bare’s research explores the politics of uncertainty around climate change, including the impact of natural resource variability on cooperation. She is also interested in understanding how uncertainty affects bargaining power in international negotiations around climate finance and payment for ecosystem services. Another area of Bare’s research examines the role of non-state actors, such as private firms and interest groups, in climate policymaking. Bare is advised by Kris Ramsay, professor in the Department of Politics.
