ABOUT ME
I am a behavioral economist who investigates the mechanisms that shape human decision-making and behavior in economic contexts. My research employs a diverse range of experimental methods, including laboratory, field, and online experiments. I focus primarily on honesty, fairness, and financial risk-taking, with my work spanning topics from the business culture within the banking industry to global patterns of civic honesty. My findings have been published in top general interest journals, such as Nature and Science, as well as leading economics journals, including The American Economic Review and The Review of Economic Studies.
