About Marco

I am an Associate Professor of Economics at The University of Queensland, in Brisbane, Australia.

My research sits at the intersection of political economy and behavioral economics. Combining theoretical, empirical, and experimental methods, I study how people make political and social decisions: voting, polarisation, collective action, and the design of institutions. I am also interested in applying behavioural insights to economics education.

I received my Ph.D. from The University of Edinburgh and worked at The University of St Andrews before joining UQ.

I currently hold an ARC Discovery Project grant with Vera te Velde (DP220102533), and have previously led ARC-funded projects on related themes.
