  • Farmers’ behaviour towards technology adoption, adaptation and mitigation to climate change
  • Beliefs, risk and ambiguity preference elicitation using economic experiments
  • Methodological issues related to experimental auctions, contingent valuation and discrete choice experiments – for example incentive compatibility
