Dr Federica Alberti
Senior Lecturer
Summary
I am Senior Lecturer in Economics and Finance. My research areas are behavioural economics and experimental economics.
In 2017 I co-edited a special issue of the journal Games (MDPI) on public goods games, with my colleague Edward Cartwright.
In 2019 I secured financial support from the Royal Economic Society–through its 'Discover Economics' initiative–for a conference promoting economics to girls in Portsmouth. I have established within my faculty a 'Women in Economics' network as an events platform for young female economists.
Biography
I hold a PhD in Economics from the University of East Anglia, a MSc in Economics from the University of Siena (Italy), and a BSc in Economics from the University of Bologna (Italy). Prior to joining the University of Portsmouth, I was Research Associate at the Max Planck Institute of Economics in Germany. Before that, I had been Research Associate at the Centre for Reasoning, University of Kent. In autumn 2019 I was granted research leave, during which I visited the University of Southampton.
Research Interests
My research interests include public goods provision, trust, fairness in institutions, social norms.
Recent papers include:

Teaching Responsibilities
I coordinate and teach Public Sector Economics, a final year undergraduate unit. I also teach behavioural economics on the second-year unit Behavioural Economics and Game Theory.
I act as personal tutor to undergraduate students. I supervise final year, undergraduate projects, Master's dissertations and PhD research.
I am happy to receive applications relating to PhD research in behavioural economics.
