Andreas Stritt

Economist

Biography

Andreas Stritt is an economist at Swiss Economics. He conducts value-added and employment analyses for technologies, companies, infrastructure projects, and policy measures. For the Axpo Energy Reports, he calculated the economic impacts of various electricity generation technologies through 2050; for an Alpine photovoltaic plant, he assessed the regional value added; and for EV Zug, he evaluated the club’s economic and social significance in its region.

A second area of focus is incentive regulation and efficiency measurement for grid infrastructures: He has been and continues to be involved in several projects for the German Bundesnetzagentur, including the efficiency benchmarking of electricity distribution system operators, and, for the EU agency ACER, the design of the European efficiency benchmarking of natural gas transmission system operators.

Methodologically, he works with input-output analyses, efficiency measurement methods such as DEA and SFA, macroeconomic forecasting models, route optimization algorithms, and large regulatory datasets. He holds a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in economics from the University of Bern, with a specialization in industrial economics, energy economics, and data analysis.
