Dr Simone Cerroni

School of Biological Sciences

Dr Cerroni’s research focuses on behavioural and experimental economics. The main area of research is decision making under risk and uncertainty applied to farming, food consumption, nutrition, health and environmental sustainability.

Research topics:

  • Consumers’ preferences for safe, healthy and environmental sustainable diets
  • 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
