Professor Bellezza’s research has been published in top-tier academic journals, including the Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of Marketing Research, and Management Science. Her work has also received extensive media coverage in popular outlets, such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and Scientific American.
