Dr. KLARIZZE ANNE MARTIN PUZON

ABOUT ME:  I have worked as fixed-term junior professor (Kōshi 講師 ) at ISER, Osaka University in Japan for almost 3 years. Prior to my 3-year academic post in Japan & subsequent non-academic stint with the United Nations (UN), I engaged in short-term invited visits to universities in Asia & the EU. Currently,  I am affiliated with Royal Holloway, University of London in the UK and the Center for Environmental & Resource Economics (CERE) at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

At the relatively young age of 26, I obtained my PhD in Economics (Summa cum laude) from the University of Montpellier in France. Before that, I was awarded a Master's degree in Economics (Cum laude) from Toulouse School of Economics as Eiffel scholar of the French government. 

As an applied behavioral economist, my work lies along the interface of development and environmental issues.

My research attempts to understand:

1) How economic & social inequalities affect individual & collective decision-making.

2) How to design institutions & utilize social norms for more equitable & sustainable outcomes.

I primarily use behavioral experiments as tools. 

My experimental work is complemented by large-scale data that I collect using advanced survey methodologies. As principal investigator in several external grants & government-funded projects, I have led & managed fieldwork and data collection, esp. in Sub-Saharan Africa (e.g. Guinea) & Southeast Asia (e.g. the Philippines). I have collaborated with multi-cultural, interdisciplinary teams in various contexts: Universities, governments, & international organizations.  My research outputs have published in refereed journals like European Economic Review, Computational Statistics, and Journal of Behavioral & Experimental Economics.
