Tabaré will be strengthening his network and research portfolio in Latin America, with a focus on environmental issues. Building on current work on household’s waste management using field experiments in Sweden, one goal is to explore the issue in Buenos Aires to identify features of the problem that generalize (or don’t) across contexts. A second goal is to explore the conditions for a meaningful shift in meat consumption towards alternative protein sources, from the consumers’ side. A third goal is to explore the (true) welfare effects of new transportation technologies, such as e-scooters, in cities. A broader goal is to develop a better understanding of the region to motivate future work.
