My name is Francesco Capozza and I will join UB and IEB in the fall as an AP. I was affiliated to WZB and Berlin School of Economics.
I have obtained my PhD in Economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam and Tinbergen Institute in June 2023. I am the recipient of the CESifo Distinguished Award in Public Economics 2024.
I am an Applied Microeconomist and I draw insights from Behavioral Economics to tackle research questions in the domain of Political Economy (news consumption and polarization), Mental Health and Public Economics (welfare weights).
