Flavio Malagutti

Biography

Hi! My name is Flavio Malagutti. I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Bren School of Environmental Science & Management (economics track), University of California, Santa Barbara.

My work is at the intersection of development, behavioral, and environmental economics. My favorite approach to research is using field experiments to test and extend microeconomic theory. Recently, I have been studying problems related to how individuals and businesses respond to wealth transfers and demand clean energy.

My projects are currently in sub-Saharan Africa, but I have also worked in Brazil and Paraguay in the past.
