Biographie

Isabella Blengini, PhD, est professeur associé d'économie à l'Hospitality Business School de l'EHL.

Elle a obtenu un doctorat en économie au Boston College. Pendant ses études doctorales, elle a été chargée de recherche au département d'économie du MIT et a effectué un stage au département de recherche de la Fed de Boston. Après avoir obtenu son doctorat, elle a été chercheur postdoctoral à l'Université de Lausanne.

Elle enseigne l'économie aux niveaux supérieur (MBA, MiHM) et inférieur (BOSC) et a précédemment occupé des postes d'enseignement au Boston College et à l'Université de Lausanne.

Ses recherches portent sur la manière dont l'information et la conception des politiques influencent la prise de décision. Elle applique la théorie de la décision et les expériences sur le terrain pour étudier l'efficacité des politiques, en se concentrant sur l'amélioration de la communication et des interventions pour de meilleurs résultats économiques. S'appuyant sur ses travaux sur les marchés financiers et la communication politique, elle a récemment étendu ses intérêts aux marchés de l'énergie, aux transports et aux comportements liés à la santé.

Ses travaux ont été publiés dans The Economic Journal et dans d'autres publications universitaires.
