Research interests
Topic Description Research area
JEL C91 - Laboratory, Individual Behavior Design and analysis of laboratory experiments to study heterogeneity of individual behaviors, both in conditions of certainty and uncertainty and in cases involving risk. These experiments help to develop models with greater explanatory and forecasting power compared to those formulated by traditional economic theory. Behavioural and Experimental Economics
Design of Experiments
JEL C92 - Laboratory, Group Behavior Analysis and design of laboratory experiments to study the behavior of individuals in contexts of strategic interaction to; (i) identify the role of social preferences in the presence of economic incentives, (ii) study individuals attitude towards cooperation in the contexts of a so-called "social dilemma" (such as the private provision of public goods) and (iii) proposing mechanisms to solve the dilemma. Experimental analysis of the role of communication in the context of strategic interaction and study of the role of the social influence of agents within networks. Behavioural and Experimental Economics
Design of Experiments
JEL D01 - Microeconomic Behavior: Underlying Principles Theoretical and empirical analysis of individual preferences affected by (i) a "preference for belief consonance" (related to people's desire for the beliefs of other people or groups to align with their own) and (ii) social status concerns. Welfare and Collective Choice

JEL D87 - Neuroeconomics Design and analysis of neuroscientific laboratory experiments aimed at shedding light on the neural underpinnings of individuals' sense of fairness and willingness to sanction unfair behavior. Welfare and Collective Choice
