Johan Gars
Johan Gars is a researcher at the Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics and holds a PhD in Economics from Stockholm University (2012). His work sits broadly within the economics of environmental issues and natural resource use, with a focus on how the global economy depends on and affects the natural environment.
He uses a wide toolkit of economic models, including macroeconomic and trade frameworks, to analyze these relationships. His current research emphasizes the role of energy in the global economy and methods for jointly assessing several major environmental challenges at once, such as those captured by the planetary boundaries framework. He has also contributed research on macroeconomic aspects of climate change and on international trade in agricultural products and harvested renewable resources.

Daniel Spiro
Daniel Spiro is an Associate Professor in economics at Uppsala University, Sweden. His work sits at the intersection of environmental and resource economics, behavioral economics, political economics, and development, with a strong focus on how policy shapes real-world environmental and geopolitical outcomes.
His recent research includes working papers on firm ownership and pollution, integrated assessment of biodiversity and agriculture, and the geopolitical externalities of climate policy. Across these projects, he combines economic modeling with policy analysis to understand incentives, distributional effects, and strategic interactions in climate and resource decisions.
Daniel Spiro also contributes actively to public debate and applied policy work. Recent outputs address Western oil sanctions on Russia, nuclear power subsidies under new economic and geopolitical conditions, and the security benefits of climate policy. Through teaching and widely shared pedagogical materials, he brings complex topics, such as energy markets, growth, inequality, and “energy war” dynamics, into the classroom and public discussion.
