ABOUT ME

As a behavioral economist, I investigate the mechanisms driving human behavior in economic contexts. My primary areas of interest are honesty, fairness, and financial risk-taking. In my work, I employ a diverse range of experimental methods, including laboratory, field, and online experiments.

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 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
