About Me

Portrait of Peer Lasse Hinrichsen, Researcher

Hi, I'm Peer. I am a quantitative economist and doctoral candidate at the CAU Kiel Institute. I use large-scale climate and energy data to study how climate change reshapes residential energy demand.

I hold an MSc in Quantitative Economics and work primarily with R, Bayesian econometrics, panel data, and applied forecasting. Depending on the project, I also use Python, SQL, and GIS workflows.

I am especially interested in climate-sensitive energy demand, heterogeneous temperature responses, and evidence that can inform a resilient energy transition. I am open to collaborations with researchers, policy analysts, and data scientists.

Expertise & Interests

  • Econometrics & Modeling: Bayesian methods, time-series, panel data
  • Data Science & Programming: R, Python, SQL, GIS
  • Energy & Environmental Economics: climate impacts on energy demand
  • Big Data: georeferenced climate and demographic datasets
  • Research & Policy: scientific writing, publishing, and knowledge sharing
  • Global Collaboration: engagement with international research networks

Recent Research

  • Temperature Sensitivity of Residential Energy Demand on the Global Scale

    A Bayesian partial pooling analysis of residential electricity and gas demand across countries, with a focus on nonlinear temperature response, heterogeneous effects, and globally comparable evidence.
