Riccardo Ghidoni
Welcome to my personal webpage!
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Bologna. I am also an Extramural Fellow in the Economics department at Tilburg University and a member of the Behavioral and Experimental Economists @ Tilburg.
I am primarily interested in pro-sociality and cooperation. Most of my research aims at identifying conditions and motivations under which individuals resist opportunistic temptations to reach socially desirable outcomes.
