Matteo M. Galizzi is Associate Professor of Behavioural Science, Director of the LSE Executive MSc in Behavioural Science, and Co-Director of the LSE Behavioural Lab. He is affiliated to the LSE Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science (PBS), is in the Steering Group of the LSE Global Health Initiative, and in the LSE Executive MSc Management Board.

Matteo serves as the LSE local lead of the UK Reproducibility Network (UKRN) and as chair of the LSE Open Research Working Group (ORWG). He is the co-founder and founding coordinator of the Behavioural and Experimental Economists in the UK network (BEE UK) (with Fabio Tufano); of the Behavioural Experiments in Health Network (BEH-net) and its annual workshop on Behavioural and Experimental Health Economics (with Daniel Wiesen); of the workshop on Behavioural Data Linking and the Data Linking Initiative in Behavioural Science (DLIBS); of the annual conference of the alums of the LSE Executive MSc in Behavioural Science; and of the international workshop on the External Validity, Generalizability, and Replicability of Economic Experiments held annually at the Barcelona School of Economics Summer Forum (with Daniel Navarro-Martinez).

Matteo is a behavioural and experimental economist working on randomised controlled trials and behavioural experiments in health and public policy. After studying in state schools in Bergamo (Italy), he graduated (cum laude) in economics from the University of Pavia (Italy). He holds a MSc in Econometrics (with Distinction) and a PhD in Economics from the University of York (UK). He has taken research and teaching positions at the universities of Pavia, York, Varese, Autonoma Barcelona, Brescia, Queen Mary London, Durham, and Paris School of Economics.

Matteo’s core methodological expertise is in longitudinal experiments and behavioural data linking, i.e. the linkage of behavioural economics experiments to panel surveys, administrative records, epidemiological cohorts, biomarkers banks, mobile and wearable devices, online panels, and other smart data sources.

He regularly interacts with international organisations, governments, public agencies, companies, and non-profit organization for research, knowledge exchange, and advising collaborations. Together with the LSE Behavioural Lab team and with collaborators at the University of Trento and the Technical University of Munich, he has led projects on the behavioural aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related policy responses within the pan-European PERISCOPE consortium (Pan-European Response to the ImpactS of COVID-19 and future Pandemics and Epidemics) funded by the European Commission under the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme. He has also led several major behavioural data linking projects, including an ESRC-funded project linking experimental, survey, administrative and biomarkers data for a representative sample in the UK population within Understanding Society, the world-largest household panel.

Matteo has published 5 policy reports, 10 book chapters, and 50+ scientific articles in leading peer-reviewed journals in economics, psychology, general science, medicine, public policy, management, and judgment and decision making. He has published a book on Behavioural Economics and Policy for Pandemics: Behavioural Insights from Responses to COVID-19 for Cambridge University Press (co-edited with Joan Costa-Font), the first book to summarise the main insights from behavioural economics on the pandemic responses. He is the editor of the New Voices and the Registered Reports sections of the Behavioural Public Policy journal, and a guest editor of the special issue on Transparency, Reproducibility, and Generalizability of Behavioural Economics Experiments in the Journal of Behavioural and Experimental Economics (with Levent Neyse).

At the LSE Matteo teaches Research Methods for Behavioural Science (PB471E), Frontiers in Behavioural Science Methods (PB413E), Dissertation Workshops (PB451E) for the EMSc dissertations, and Behavioural Science for Health and Regulation (PB452E) at the Executive MSc in Behavioural Science; and Experimental Design and Methods for the Behavioural Science (PB413) and Behavioural Science for Health and Pandemic Responses (PB452) at the MSc in Behavioural Science, all courses for which he has received several teaching excellence awards over the years.

Besides supervising dissertations for the Executive and full-time MSc in Behavioural Science, he is regularly supervising or co-supervising post-doctoral researchers and PhD candidates at the LSE, including:
