Il “ricco egoista”

L’invidia è una brutta bestia, dicono. Ma cosa pensano, in generale, le persone dei ricchi? Si trovano in una condizione agiata perché si sono comportate in un modo più egoistico nella propria vita? In altre parole, quanto è pervasiva nel mondo l’idea del “ricco egoista” e con quali caratteristiche della società correlata? A dare una risposta a queste domande ci pensa un recente studio scientifico, pubblicato su rivista molto prestigiosa: PNAS.

I am Associate Professor of Economics at the Dept. of Economics & Statistics “Cognetti de Martiis” of the Univ. of Turin, and research affiliate at Collegio Carlo Alberto. I studied Political Science at Bachelor’s and Master’s level at the Univ. Federico II in Naples, the lovely city where I grew up and where I’ve learnt how to survive most other places of the world. Then I received the MSc in Development Economics and the PhD in Economic Theory & Institutions at the Univ. of Rome “Tor Vergata”. Although I was trained as an economist my research topics are at the intersection between different social sciences. They include social preferences (e.g. trust, altruism, cooperation), subjective well-being, happiness and development (e.g. microfinance, civil war and natural disasters). I use experimental- and applied-economics methods such as fieldworks, lab-experiments, policy evaluation tools and analysis of survey data. I founded and currently lead CLOSER (Center for LabOratory Simulations and Experimental Research) with the aim of bringing together psychologists, sociologists and economists for a broader understanding of human behavior. I love riding my mountain and road bikes, swimming, traveling, listening to music and playing it with my indie-rock band.
