Roberto Caputo
I am a second-year Econ PhD candidate at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) and affiliated with the The Choice Lab at FAIR. I work under the supervision of Alexander W. Cappelen and Ingar Haaland.
I am mailnly interested in inequalities, distributive justice, and social norms. I use experimental methods to explore the role of moral judgments and perception of inequalities in shaping fairness ideals and individual behavior.
I previously worked as a Pre-Doc Research Assistant at University of Bologna for MinUTo project that investigates the determinants of children’s non-cognitive skills and social preferences, focusing on the role of parenting practices and beliefs.
I hold a M.Sc. in Economics from the University of Bologna, a B.Sc. in Economics and Management from University of Trento.
