My research areas include behavioral and experimental economics, as well as applied microeconomics, with a particular focus on causal inference for policy evaluation. I have been working with NLP algorithms and LLMs prompts to extract quantitative informtion from qualitative text data.
My research interests cover bounded rationality and market frictions that prevent economic efficiency and distort household decision-making. In particular, my research examines the behavioral and informational mechanisms driving limited adoption of energy-efficient technologies.
My PhD thesis entitled Information Frictions and Behavior in Green Markets studies decision-making under asymmetric information at both the household and corporate levels. It includes experimental evidence, web-scraping, text mining with NLP, cross sectional and panel data analysis.
Other research topics: COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy, cognitive biases, trust measurement, and pro-environmental decision-making.
