Ilaria Prometti is an Italian PhD student in Applied Economics, currently visiting Harvard Business School under the supervision of Professor Alex Chan. She is enrolled in the PhD program at the University of Pavia and the University of Bergamo, with Professor Gianmaria Martini.  She spent last year as a visiting student at the University of Pittsburgh, where she collaborated with Osea Giuntella, Rania Gihleb, Wendy Troxel and Coleman Drake. Her research focuses on experimental economics, applied to health economics, disparities, and support programs for disadvantaged population. Ilaria has worked on projects related to risky health behaviors and healthcare policies, and she is now exploring disparities, incentives, and economic decision-making through experimental research.

My academic journey began at the University of Bergamo, where I obtained a bachelor's degree in Economics. Following this, I pursued further education by acquiring a master's degree in Economics and Data Analysis. Through this program, I also got the label of European Master in Official Statistics, awarded by the European Statistical System Committee (ESSC).

Upon graduation in October 2021, I continued to collaborate with the University of Bergamo as a tutor, while also engaging in two research projects: "Teaching International Monetary Economics: A Critical View" and "Statistical Economic Information and Non-Probabilistic Samples."

In October 2022, I embarked on a new journey as a Ph.D. student in Applied Economics and Management, specializing in the Applied Economics curriculum, at the University of Pavia in collaboration with the University of Bergamo.

My research interests mainly concern the field of Health Economics, with particular attention to the social component of this field, namely risky health behaviors.
