With Arianna Buratto, we have just published this new paper in #ecologicaleconomics
We applied nudges to restaurants' menus to increase sales of vegetarian and plant-based dishes. We found that:

I think that the last year has been a bit too much for continuing using #X / #Twitter. See you on #LinkedIn!

3) When the same nudge was made transparent through a statement explaining its purpose on the menu, the sales of those starters increased by 14.1 pp.

These findings support the use of nudges as cost-effective interventions to tackle the issue of unsustainable food consumption.

1) Removing the symbols for vegetarian and plant-based dishes increased the sales of those starters by 10.2 pp., and of those mains by 6.2 pp.

2) When a low emissions symbol replaced the symbols for vegetarian and plant-based dishes, it did not affect sales.

Thanks to @LoryBarile and Giovanni Manfredi for working together on this interesting field experiment!

[Dr. Lorenzo Lotti @lorelotti_]

Our paper just published tests whether visual eye nudges help direct attention towards existing instructions designed to increase waste sorting accuracy. Percentage errors decline by 64%, 95%, and 58%, in mixed-recycling, non-recycling, and food waste.

Did you know that within the superior temporal sulcus, there are specific sub-cells responsible for identifying eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, and much more within our visual range? Among those cells, 64% are responsible for eye recognition!

Food sustainability: do we really know what's sustainable (or are we overconfident)?

Our last paper investigates the effectiveness of salience and choice overload, looking at consumers' knowledge and overconfidence.

Have a look, interesting findings 👇! @AriannaBuratto
