PRO.CO.P.E. (Prosociality, Cognition, Peer Effects) is a multidisciplinary research project funded by the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca in 2019: it studies how the likelihood of prosocial behavior is affected by the mode of cognition, the structure of social interactions and their interplay.
The project aims at a better understanding of the determinants of prosocial behavior, deriving implications for policies designed to foster prosociality.
PARTNERS: AVIS - Associazione Volontari Italiani del Sangue and Lucca Crea Srl.
The PRO.CO.P.E. team organizes the 1st interim workshop that will be held online: to participate, visit the PRO.CO.P.E. website.
