Visiting activity

During the visiting period, the objective will be to advance research lines that have already been partially developed, with a particular focus on analysing the relevance of information on consumer and firm behaviour, especially in the context of sustainable choices. Previous studies conducted by Professor Gallego and her co-authors highlight the importance of investigating the impact of public and private information disclosure, and how the behavioral traits could amplify the effect of such disclosure on economic decisions. The analysis will be conducted primarily using an experimental approach.
