Introduction
My research focuses on:
-The link between incentives and the expression of social preferences.
-The underlying mechanisms like attention allocation that enable individuals to adopt pro-environmental behaviors and prosocial behaviors in general.
-The role of new technologies in companies' cooperation (smart contracts and blockchain), and on the adoption of prosocial/pro-environmental behaviors (energy consumption).
-Behavioral and Experimental economics

We investigate the complementarity among different treatments which involved “boosts” (provision of information) and “goals” (ambitious or modest goals) by means of a field experiment conducted in the Principality of Monaco between December 2018 and May 2019. We collected data from 77 households in four groups: ambitious electricity reduction goal...
In the context of growing concern for the environmental challenge, the objective of this thesis is to bring some insights on possible links between incentives, social preferences and the environmental context. Chapter 1 is a general introduction. Chapter 2 provides a survey of the experimental research disciplines studying Pro-Environmental Behavio...
This paper provides a survey of the experimental research studying pro-environmental behavior (PEB) in the disciplines of economics and psychology. We have conducted a bibliometric analysis of the published experiments using the Scopus (Elsevier) dataset over the time period 1996-2016. We used keyword frequency to identify the most relevant determi...
We investigate the relation between elicited social preferences and attentional contribution in a pro-social environment. For this purpose, we propose a new experiment, namely the “dustbin task”, where subjects invest real attention to reduce uncertainty in a discrimination task. We compare three different incentivized environments where the subjec...
Coastal flood is a major risk for the French Atlantic coast and its island territories, and its management is a key issue for local authorities. Good management of this risk requires understanding the need for a trade-off between occupant safety, attractiveness of the island, environmental development, costs minimisation and population satisfaction...
La submersion marine est un risque majeur pour le littoral Atlantique français, en particulier pour ses territoires insulaires tels que l'ile d'Oléron. La gestion de ce risque est donc un enjeu important pour les élus locaux (communes et communauté de communes). Une bonne maitrise de ce risque repose sur une assimilation des principes d'équilibre e...

It is recognized widely that incentives can influence the cooperation among individuals in the provision of public goods. The aim of this study is to adapt a public good game (PGG) to the environmental issue of waste management. We report an experiment where the players have to cooperate in order to reduce the cost of waste sorting treatment, modelled as a decrease in the tax rate. We consider a traditional
PGG involving groups of four players. A fifth player representing the third-party is introduced in the incentivized treatments. The third-party can provide advice about the desired individual contribution (Advice Treatment), or can punish collectively noncooperative behaviors by increasing the tax rate (Sanction Treatment). Participants are asked also to perform an effort task to increase their given initial endowments. A social preference measure is introduced in the form of a social value orientation (SVO) test. We find that initially, advice, sanction and the threat of sanction significantly increase the average individual contribution level. However, applying a sanction has a stronger disciplinary effect. Also, we find results in line with Becker (1974)’s altruism hypothesis that under both sanction and threat of a sanction, high income individuals contribute more in absolute value than low income individuals.
