Professor Alessandro Del Ponte studies how citizens and governments respond to global crises, including climate change, economic downturns, and migration. A second line of research builds on social identity theory to study the political consequences of national identity and partisan polarization in the United States and the European Union. Professor Del Ponte has a particular interest in experimental design and methods for causal inference, such as economic games and survey experiments.
