Presentation

I work on the analysis of environmental policy instruments, using primarily analytical microeconomic models. My research is divided into two areas:  i) the design of second-best mitigation policies in the livestock sector, with a particular focus on land-use regulation, and ii) the role of social influence (peer effects, norms) and identity in the consumption of polluting goods (of which meat can be a case study).

Research topics

  • Policy instrument analysis
  • Land use
  • Livestock and meat consumption
  • Peer effects, social identity and norm
