Aitor Marcos

Dr. Aitor Marcos, Research Associate

Aitor Marcos is a behavioral ecological economist investigating demand-side solutions for climate change mitigation. He conducts experiments and applies other quantitative social science methods to investigate how to influence the norms, beliefs, preferences, and structural factors that shape resource and energy demand. By focusing on the demand side of the equation, Aitor’s research revolves around the following solutions: reducing or shifting consumption patterns, promoting an efficient consumption of material and energy resources, accelerating the energy transition, adopting low-carbon lifestyles, supporting climate policies, and accepting or rejecting new technological solutions, such as carbon capture and storage.
