Questions and themes

Research.

My research examines competition, cooperation and the distribution of resources, using experimental methods to study how incentives, information and institutional rules affect behaviour. It spans organisational and personnel economics, public economics, and social preferences.

Across these fields, I examine both individual decisions and interactions between people: how employees are evaluated, how groups provide public goods, how resources are shared, and when people trust, monitor or deceive one another. The themes below describe the main questions addressed in my published and ongoing work.

Organisational and personnel economics

I study competition for positions, subjective performance evaluation and incentives in teams. My experiments examine gender differences in competitiveness, escalation bias in employee evaluations, and equal and unequal profit sharing in interdependent work groups.

Public economics and social preferences

I study public good provision, charitable giving and redistribution. This work examines cooperation between neighbours, contributions made on behalf of others, and how effort, luck and perceptions of deservingness affect resource allocation.

Trust and deception

I examine strategic lying, collaborative dishonesty and choices between trusting and monitoring others. These studies investigate how information and reputational incentives affect cooperation and deception.

Advice, judgement and AI

I examine how people respond to advice and how AI is used in decisions and strategic communication. This work considers both those receiving advice or messages and those using AI to produce them.

It includes an experimental study of human and AI investment advice with CONSOB and ongoing research on AI-assisted deception.

Research with public institutions and humanitarian organisations

These collaborations address practical questions in financial regulation and humanitarian action, through experimental research and guidance on impact evaluation.

Collaboration with CONSOB

Human and AI investment advice

The study compares investment advice from human and robo-advisers. It examines how the source of a recommendation and its agreement with investors’ initial choices affect subsequent portfolio decisions.

START Network and the MEAL practitioners group

Humanitarian research reports

I worked with START Network, a consortium of humanitarian aid organisations, and the MEAL practitioners group on methods for evaluating anticipatory humanitarian action: assistance provided before a forecast hazard occurs. The work produced three reports on impact evaluation and methodological guidance.
