ALBERTO  PRATI 

I am an Assistant Professor in Economics at UCL, where I teach economic psychology and how to use subjective data to answer public policy questions. I also serve as a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford and as an Associate Researcher at the London School of Economics. 

​

I am a behavioural economist, working on:

 

  • Wellbeing: improving the quality of wellbeing data collected in large scale-surveys (including life satisfaction, job satisfaction and financial satisfaction).

  • (Mis)-judgments: understanding why people form and entertain different opinions (both professional and personal).

  • Measurement: developing behavioral methods to measure elusive concepts (like time preferences, social connectedness, inflation inequalities and universal emotions).
