Álvaro Fernández Gutiérrez

I am PhD candidate at Universidad Carlos III of Madrid. Also I work as a freelance research assistant for several think tanks, including EsadeEcPol, Oikos and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation.

My research interests lie at the intersection of electoral behavior, political psychology, and public opinion, with a strong empirical focus on climate politics and attitudes. Specifically, I study how individual characteristics and contextual factors shape the coherence on climate attitudes. I pay particular attention to how these attitudes influence the gap between concern about climate change and support for mitigation policies. My work combines longitudinal survey data and experimental methods to identify the mechanisms that explain this gap and its evolution over time. 

My drafts have been accepted at several conferences, including ECPR, EPSA or AECPA.
