Dr. Slechten's main research interests lie in Environmental Economics, Applied Microeconomics, and Market Design.

Currently, her research focuses on four key areas: the microstructure of carbon emissions markets, corporate social responsibility, the relationship between board of directors' networks and environmental performance, and pollution-driven residential mobility.
