On the 1st of October 2010 I returned to be full-time Professor of Economics and Statistics and Director of
EXEC,
the Centre for Experimental Economics, at
the University of York in the
UK, and I have resigned from my position as Professore Ordinario in Italy.
I was Editor of the Economic Journal from 1986 to 1996.
My main research interests are in the economics of
decision making under risk and uncertainty (both static and dynamic) and
in Experimental Economics. With regard to the latter I was the co-founder (with Graham Loomes) of
EXEC, the Centre for Experimental
Economics at the University of York, and I have now returned to direct it full-time.
With Daniela Di Cagno we established CESARE in Rome,
with the generous support of Deloitte.
From 2001 to 2004 I was European
Vice-President of the Economic
Science Association (the association of experimental
economists). I organised (with
Daniela Di Cagno
and others) the
Twelfth FUR Conference in 2006, the
ESA World Meeting in 2007
and IAREP/SABE in 2008.
Research
My main research is in individual decision-making under risk and ambiguity, both static and dynamic, and I use experimental methods.
My recent papers are downloadable directly or via the Departmental Discussion Paper series.
Teaching
At York I teach Graduate Experimental Economics and
Undergraduate Introduction to Experimental Economics (access to the sites of which is limited to University of York students through the
VLE link).
From October 2011 I will once again teach Microeconomics 2 as I did before I went to Italy.
In Italy I used to teach Microeconomics
and co-taught Social Choice with Carmen Pasca.
For the Micro 2 course in York I will use my Intermediate Microeconomics: People are Different, a description of which can be found
here,
which is custom published in English by Pearson Custom Publishing,
and is
published
in Italian by Aracne.
You might find interesting a page highlighting the problems of working within
the Italian Examination system.

The photos above show five of my favourite things. The two photos on the left were taken when I was in New Zealand for Christmas last year (unfortunately the young lady is the girlfriend of my son).
The one second from the right was taken when I was in Canada this year (unfortunately the sprog is not another son, but happily is my first grandson). The photo
on the right is of my 'new' car.
