MSc Katarzyna Zagórska

I’m a Ph.D. candidate at the Chair of Microeconomics, University of Warsaw. My research lies in the domain of behavioural and applied economics. I’m interested in motivations, incentives and provision of information that promote desirable behaviour change. Most of my studies concern preferences for public goods and policies. My experience concentrates in preference elicitation, non-market valuation and cost-benefit analysis. The experiments I conduct help in revealing public preferences for and welfare consequences of various solutions to social challenges. Since 2014, I have been working in projects examining individual decision making towards pubic goods. I led the NCN grant on causal relation between communication of social norms and consumers’ environmental choices. In 2017, I visited the University of Glasgow within Junior Dekaban-Liddle Fellowship.
