Friday Seminar with Stefano Carattini (Georgia State University)

Stefano Carattini is Associate Professor of Economics at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies at Georgia State University and serves as the Programme Director for the M.A. in Economics. He is also a Research Fellow with the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR), an Affiliate with CESifo, and an Invited Researcher to the Abdul Latif Jamaal Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

His research interests include Environmental Economics, Behavioural Economics, and Political Economy. He is interested in policy evaluation, to examine how policies work, as well as their political economy, in particular people’s understanding of and support for (ex-ante) unpopular policies. His research combines applied microeconometric techniques for observational studies and, when causal identification in the current state of the world is not possible, field experiments. His research also relies on surveys to uncover what is on people’s minds and otherwise invisible to the researcher.
