📄 New paper in Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization!
I propose a model of prosocial behavior combining moral balancing, self-signaling, and motivated reasoning. It explains why people switch between selfish and prosocial acts—and why voluntary prosociality is hard to sustain without policy.

📊 New field experiment: Can newsletters cut meat consumption?
Overall, no big effects. But people already inclined to eat less meat—low baseline intake, health-focused, especially women—did reduce consumption sustainably.
Behavioral nudges help the motivated; broader change needs stronger policy.

Very proud that the first chapter of my PhD thesis has been published in Scientific Reports.
