Emanuele Campiglio is Full professor at the University of Bologna and Principal Investigator of the BELIEFS project.

Marco is a Pre-Doctoral Research Fellow working on the BELIEFS project. He studied Economics at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (B.Sc.) and at the Universitat de Barcelona (M.Sc.). His research interests lie in transport, environmental and urban economics, with a focus on the environmental externalities of air transportation and the impact of ride-hailing platforms on urban mobility. In his Master’s thesis, he examined the effectiveness of noise-related airport charges in the European Economic Area, assessing whether they create real incentives for airlines to operate quieter aircraft.

Estelle is a Pre-Doctoral Research Fellow working on the BELIEFS project. She holds a B.Sc. in Economics from Paris Sciences & Lettres, where she also studied Sociology and Political Science, and an MSc from the Paris School of Economics, specialising in public policy evaluation and environmental economics. Her research interests lie in how market structures and the organisation of firms shape the adoption of sustainable production practices. Her master’s thesis empirically investigated how the presence of dairy cooperatives in a territory influences the diffusion of organic farming, exploring potential mechanisms such as transmission of demand signals and reduction in conversion and marketing costs. 

Frederick is a Pre-Doctoral Research Fellow working on the BELIEFS project. He completed a BSc. and MSc. in Econometrics & Operations Research at Maastricht University, while also pursuing an additional MSc. in Public Policy & Human Development. During his bachelor's degree, he spent a semester on exchange at National Taiwan University in Taipei. Prior to joining the BELIEFS project, he was a research intern at the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) in the Hague, where he worked on computational economic methods to model consumer responses to a carbon tax on Video-on-Demand streaming platforms. His research interests broadly cover environmental economics, ecological economics, development economics, and computational economics.

Amrei is a pre-doctoral Research Fellow working on the BELIEFS project. She studied Economics at the University of Freiburg (B.Sc.) and LMU Munich (M.Sc.). Her research interests lie in environmental and climate economics, with a particular focus on how societies adapt to the consequences of climate change. Her master’s thesis at the ifo Institute in Munich explored climate-induced migration in Mexico, analyzing how weather fluctuations influence internal mobility patterns. 

Andrea Marietta Leina is an experimental economist. His research examines cooperation in social dilemmas and environmentally related behaviours. He uses laboratory, online, and field experiments to study how people make choices linked to the environment, their expectations about others, and the conditions that foster or hinder cooperation.

Matteo is a research fellow at the University of Bologna and member of the BLESS Mobile Lab. He investigates financial behaviors related to low-carbon transitions through the lens of Experimental economics and Behavioral economics.

Inès is a macroeconomist analyzing how uncertainty shapes macroeconomic outcomes, using both theoretical and empirical approaches. Her research focuses on climate policy and financial frictions. Within the BELIEFS project, she will develop, calibrate, and simulate dynamic transition models with heterogeneous expectations to study how beliefs about climate policy affect investment and the low-carbon transition.

Simone is the project manager of BELIEFS. Simone is Research Manager at the Department of Economics, University of Bologna.

Paloma is a PhD student at Sciences Po. Her research interests are in macroeconomics and climate policies, with a focus on heterogeneity.

Andrea's research focuses on both transition risk and climate risk. Andrea has worked on climate tipping points and their economic consequences. More broadly, he's interested in environmental economics and game theory, in particular differential and network games.
