ABOUT ME
As an Associate Professor at the University of Michigan's School of Information, my research focuses on the intersection of behavioral economics and experimental economics. I employ a diverse range of experimental methods, including laboratory, field, and online experiments, to investigate the underlying mechanisms that drive human behavior. My primary areas of interest are honesty, fairness, and financial decision-making.
My research spans a wide array of topics, from examining the business culture within the banking industry to exploring global patterns of civic honesty. By utilizing various experimental approaches, I aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors that influence individuals' choices and beliefs in these contexts.
My work has been published in prestigious academic journals, such as Nature and Science, as well as leading economics journals, including The American Economic Review and The Review of Economic Studies.
