Ph.D. in Economics.

Research Interests:

Behavioural Ethics, Emotions, Decision Making Procedure, Experimental Economics.

I have two main research interests:

1. Unethical behaviours such as lying and fare evasion. More precisely I conduct laboratory experiments to identify some determinants of unethical behaviours and I conduct field experiments to investigate the efficiency of behavioural interventions in reducing unethical behaviours. 

2. Emotions and their impact on decision-making procedure. More precisely, I focus on envy and my research mainly addresses the question of how envy affects individuals’ decisions and what are the determinants modulating envy? I mainly refer on experimental methods. Thanks to experimental methods I can observe subjects’ decisions and connect the latter with subjects’ emotions. 

These are some of the questions I am interested in:

• • What is the connection between effort and the emotional intensity of envy? (Are you more envious when making efforts in vain?)

  • Is envy powerful enough to refrain people from being immoral?

  • What strategies can be implemented in the field to fight dishonest behaviours such as fare evasion?

  • Do emotions channel you into different career paths and social roles? 

  • Is envy really responsible for leading subjects to engage in counterproductive behaviours?

  • What are the advantages and limits of practicing sport activities?
