About: My research addresses important issues in behavioral and environmental economics using state-of-the-art experimental and empirical methods. To this end, my work is concerned with the evaluation of policies to improve air quality, public good contributions and explores distributional preferences in several contexts.
My work is published in top economic journals as well as leading interdisciplinary journals. In addition, I frequently review manuscripts for journals such as "Management Science", "Journal of Environmental Economics and Management" and "Environmental and Resource Economics".
