As a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Environmental Economics, I am working on understanding behavior and the role of inner factors in telecoupled settings facing systemic risks involving heterogeneous actors. I am particularly interested in understanding how participatory methods can be adapted to allow upscaling to situations where actors are geographically distant.

I aim at developing participatory interventions to combat deforestation, water scarcity, and/or eutrophication in the agricultural transition.

Against this objective, I will develop online tools for these participatory processes. As a methodological approach, I will carry out an online economic lab experiment assessing behavior with and without such processes, connecting students in two different countries and carrying out quantitative analysis motivated by econometrics.
