Turning everyday choices into societal and behavioral change.
Understanding Choices, Shaping Change
I am a micro-economist working at the intersection of behavioral and environmental economics. My research explores how everyday consumption choices impact sustainability, climate, and health, with the ambition of informing policies that support greener and healthier futures.
Using applied econometrics and experimental methods, I investigate how individuals respond to environmental policies, market changes, and product innovations. This work provides insights into how people adapt their behavior in the face of climate challenges and shifting consumption environments.
Beyond research, I contribute to teaching and academic citizenship by sharing knowledge with students and practitioners. I also engage in public debates and media, helping bridge the gap between science and society. My goal is to generate evidence that guides decision-making for consumers, companies, and policymakers alike.
