Alberto’s research falls under the broad theme: “Individual Behavior, the Environment, and Socioeconomic Outcomes.” He studies how the behaviour and incentives of economic agents, such as households, workers, and firms, interact with scarce environmental resources, such as climate, urban air, and water. Some of his ongoing projects relate to households’ awareness of the climate crisis, carbon literacy and personal accountability, and individual action. Alberto also collaborate across disciplines,
including atmospheric sciences, environmental health, consumer psychology, marketing, and strategic communication. His recent work focuses on Asia’s under-studied and globally critical environment and society.
