Giorgio is a Post-Doctoral researcher at the Department of Economics, University of Bologna. His research explores incentives for the green transition at both micro and macro levels, applying experimental and behavioral lenses. As a young scholar of the Beijer Institute for Ecological Economics, he integrates a multidisciplinary perspective grounded in socio-ecological system thinking. Following a visiting period at Princeton University, he joined the GREEN TIPPING project to contribute to the Field Experiments module.
Jesus is a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of Bologna's department of economics, where he conducts research on identifying the preconditions for social tipping points, focusing on mechanisms supporting voluntary climate action such as inertia, conditional cooperation, and conformism. Jesus’s theoretical frameworks include threshold models and evolutionary game theory. He also uses experimental methods to contrast theoretical predictions of tipping points.
Esmeralda is a graduate in Economics and Econometrics from Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna. Her research is primarily theory-oriented and lies at the intersection of behavioral and development economics, with a particular focus on poverty, gender, and environmental economics.

Elena is a Post-Doctoral Researcher in the Department of Economics at the University of Bologna. Her research spans behavioral and experimental economics as well as applied microeconometrics, employing empirical and computational methods, including large language models and NLP techniques. She studies the behavioral mechanisms underlying the energy efficiency gap and the conditions under which individual behavioral change can scale into broader transitions. She contributes to the GREEN TIPPING project by designing and implementing experimental research
