The JRP is pleased to announce that Ms. Francesca Papa will be joining the JRP for a second year in a row as a Guest Lecturer for the 2020jSchool!

Following her inspirational talk last year concerning four experimental applications of behavioural economics developed by the OECD in collaboration with national entities around the world, Francesca this year will be shedding light on behavioural policies for economic and sustainable development, including topics ranging from reform implementation to environmental behaviour and public health interventions.

Francesca currently works as a Junior Policy Analyst at the OECD which, among many things, is one of the leading organisations globally in the move toward better applications of Behavioural Science in policy. She has in fact contributed to the Prospect Theory Replication study carried out by the JRP 2018 cohort, which was published in Nature Human Behaviour in May 2020.

A young professional herself, Francesca received her Master in Behavioral and Decision Sciences from the University of Pennsylvania (US) and holds the 2018 Brenno Galli Award as Most Promising Young Scholar in Law and Economics. Prior to her graduate work, she completed her bachelor studies in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) between LUISS, Stanford, and Sciences Po Paris. She has also worked for the European Commission.We are very excited to have her onboard once again!
