We have developed:
App Lab is an easy to use app to run experiments on smartphones. It is available for both Android and iOS and it allows researchers to distribute experiments directly in subjects’ pockets. It is compatible with easy to use tools such as oTree and Qualtrics, and can also be used for notifications and payments.
I mostly work on the economics of social networks, with game theory models, experiments, and the analysis of complex networks.
I am working as Principal Investigator on the 2020-2023 PRIN project 2017ELHNNJ “The economics of vaccination”, financed by the Italian Ministry of Research.
At Bocconi, I am member of the BIDSA research center.
