Picard Julien Roger Jean Pierre

Assegnista

Julien is a postdoctoral researcher at Politecnico di Milano and an affiliated scientist at the Environmental Institute on Economics and the Environment.

He graduated with a PhD in Environmental Economics from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Julien combines economic theory, randomised experiments and machine learning to study the behavioural drivers and barriers of pro-environmental decisions.

Julien is particularly interested in understanding how these behavioural determinants interact with green policies.

Ultimately, his goal is to assess the role economic actors can play in the green transition.
