Andrea Albertazzi

Andrea Albertazzi is a Research Fellow in Economics at IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca. His research focuses on microeconomics with an emphasis on experimental methods, addressing topics such as social dilemmas, market competition, and information aggregation. He has published in journals like Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization and Economic Inquiry.

His work explores theoretical and empirical aspects of economic behavior, including cheating dynamics, welfare analysis in expert markets, and the role of competition in mitigating collective action problems. Current projects investigate relative social positioning effects, narratives influencing beliefs, and field experiments for resource conservation.

Selected publications highlight contributions to understanding how competition structures influence cooperative behavior, the validity of cheating measures in experimental settings, and benchmarking information efficiency in markets. Ongoing research includes studies on water conservation via field experiments and the psychological mechanisms behind belief formation.
