ISUW 2023 Speaker

Beatrice Petrovich joined the OIES in November 2012 after conducting European gas hubs research with the institute in August 2012. Her first paper on European gas hub price correlation was published in October 2013. In 2014 and 2015 she published two papers investigating the possible barriers to the creation of a single European gas market and the corresponding costs. Since 2016 she is involved in a joint research project with the research institute EWI Cologne, aiming to assess the impact of changes in gas demand and supply patterns on the European gas network. Since April 2016 Beatrice is researcher and Phd candidate at the Institute for the Economy and the Environment at the University of St Gallen (Switzerland), where she investigates the non-financial motivations behind investment decisions in the energy sector and the implications for policy. Before that, she worked for 5 years at REF-E, a leading energy consultancy based in Milan (Italy). Among other activities, she specialized in the analysis of the natural gas market and energy regulation, and contributed regularly to the editing and writing of REF-E specialized publications. She holds an MSc in economics from the University of Milan Bicocca and completed a one-year exchange at the University of Glasgow. While at university, she collaborated on a research project in the field of experimental economics.
