A behavioural economist, Emanuele paved the way to the use of behavioural insights at the European Commission
Since 2007, when he joined the Commission, he has been applying behavioural insights in policymaking, as a complement to other traditional approaches.
His work has resulted in several Commission services using behavioural evidence in concrete policy initiatives, such as the ban of pre-checked boxes for ancillary services in online contracts, the adoption of energy labelling for electrical appliances, and the EC Recommendation on Online Gambling.
