Life

Seidl studied economics in Munich and graduated from the license at the University of Aix-en-Provence and the Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne , the Maîtrise (Master). This was followed by a doctorate at the University of St. Gallen in 1993 with a thesis on the question of which incentives and corporate culture are needed in large companies so that environmentally friendly products ( using the example of pesticides ) are researched and manufactured. After receiving her doctorate , she conducted research at the University of Zurich , the University of Queensland and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy. She then completed her habilitation in ecological economics at the University of Zurich in 2002. Since 2006 she has headed the Research Unit Economics and Social Sciences at WSL. She also teaches regularly at the University of Zurich and the ETH Zurich .

Seidl is a growth-critical ecological economist who deals with the challenge of precautionary management and the ecological consequences of economic growth , land use and renewable energies . Other fields of research are happiness, common goods, resource consumption, but also money. It is assigned to the social-liberal spectrum of the growth-critical movement , which wants to overcome the growth constraints in the sense of an eco-social market economy . In this context, she advocates implementing an ecological tax reform :

“Tax less on work, relieve social security contributions, but tax energy, environmental resources and capital more heavily. Energy and the environment are also scarce resources - so they would be used more sparingly. "

She was involved in the founding phase of the Association for Ecological Economy and sits on the jury of the Kapp Research Prize for Ecological Economy .
