Federico Atzori, Ph.d.

The pronunciation of my name is…..
/feˈdeːriko aˈzoːri/
^{The surname refers to an ancient village in the Judicate of Cagliari.}

An economist who enjoys putting people in weird decision-making situations, building oTree experiments that are way more complex than they need to be, and running everything on servers that only crash at the worst possible moment.

I’m a behavioral scientist who studies how people actually behave when they face incentives, norms, and strategic interactions. Over the years, I’ve worked with lab (yes, also programming skills) and field experiments to unpack the mechanics of human cooperation and conflict. My compass sits between Microeconomics, Game Theory, Behavioral and Experimental Economics, driven by a stubborn curiosity for how social norms emerge, shape choices, and sometimes tilt the entire game.
