  I am a PhD candidate in the fourth year of the doctoral program in economics at the University of Calgary, Canada. I work as a research assistant at the Calgary Behavioral and Experimental Economics Lab (CBEEL). The fields of my specialization include behavioral and experimental economics, and environmental economics. My general research interest consists of the study of the origin of preferences, economic behavior in adversity, and morality. My doctoral dissertation studies behavior in the context of climate change. Specifically my current research focuses on how natural disasters affect social preferences and people’s beliefs, as well as market functioning. I employ lab and field experiments, and survey data. My working papers include the effect of climate on residential water demand and on subjective well-being, as well as an experimental study of the effect of ambiguity on preferences over gains and losses to explore how people behave and respond to uncertainty with positive (gains) and negative outcomes (losses), which characterize scenarios of climate change. I am also a seasonal instructor at the University of Calgary, where I have been teaching courses in macroeconomics (Summer 2014) and environmental economics (Spring 2015). Less
