Rustam Romaniuc

Rustam Romaniuc is an Associate Professor in the Operations, Information, and Decisions department at Montpellier Business School, and a researcher at CEE-M. His work focuses on identifying interventions to boost prosocial behavior (e.g., proenvironmental actions, voter turnout, charity donations) and improve citizen-authority relations (e.g., reporting wrongdoing, public service uptake). His research employs experimental methods to explore behavioral economics principles in real-world contexts.

Research Themes: Behavioral economics, public policy design, experimental economics, prosocial behavior interventions, and cross-cultural studies in taxation and compliance. His studies often bridge theoretical models with practical policy implications, particularly in governance and environmental sustainability.

Key Contributions: Recent work analyzes gamblers' commitment strategies, collective prevention mechanisms, and the impact of physical disability on group cooperation. He has also published on tax evasion reporting differences between Moldova and France, and the effectiveness of nudges in youth voter engagement.

Labs/Teams: Affiliated with CEE-M (Center for Economic and Social Research), focusing on behavioral insights for public policy. Collaborates widely with institutions such as the University of Montpellier and European research networks.
