Sie leitet das Fachgebiet Umwelt- und Verhaltensökonomik und ist verantwortlich für den Masterstudiengang Nachhaltiges Wirtschaften. Ihr Diplom als Volkswirtin erhielt sie von der Universität Mannheim. Es folgte eine zweijährige Tätigkeit als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Umweltbundesamt. Danach arbeitete sie am Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung in Mannheim und schloss diese Zeit im Jahr 2011 mit einer Promotion an der Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg ab. Als Postdoc verbrachte sie anschließend ein Jahr an der Universität Göteborg sowie zwei Jahre an der Columbia University in New York. Nach der Postdoc-Phase folgte der Ruf an die Universität Kassel. Ihr Forschungsinteresse liegt in der Analyse des menschlichen Kooperationsverhaltens vor allem im Hinblick auf internationale Umweltprobleme wie dem globalen Klimawandel. In 2015 erhielt sie einen ERC Starting Grant zum Thema „Human Cooperation to Protect the Global Commons“ (HUCO). Astrid war von 2016 bis 2019 Ratsmitglied der European Association of Environmental and Resource Economics (EAERE) und sie ist Associate Editor bei Economic Inquiry sowie Co-Editor bei Environmental and Resource Economics.
