I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at Union College in Schenectady, NY.
My research interests are related to Environmental Economics, Information Economics, and Consumer Food Economics. More precisely, my current research combines a theoretical approach with experimental and applied economics methods to provide a better understanding of how consumers, firms and governments make decisions under different informational and uncertainty scenarios. My interest lies in environmentally friendly innovations and green labels, environmental policies, and pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors. I am also a passionate of Rural Development issues.
