Research Interests:

Organizational & Labor Economics: incentive theory, intrinsic motivation, automation and personnel economics.

Cognitive & Behavioral Economics: reciprocity, self-serving biases, dual-system models and neuroeconomics.

Behavioral & Corporate Finance: experimental asset markets, information aggregation, market efficiency, learning, financial literacy, bubbles and cognitive finance.

Experimental Methods: virtual firms, physio, neuro, online and field experiments.

Bio: I investigate questions related to Organizational & Labor Economics, Behavioral Finance and Cognitive Economics. My work in finance focuses on market design, financial literacy and the informational efficiency of markets. Recently, I have put most of my research effort into creating the field of "Cognitive Finance". I am also developing a computer software "Virtual Organization" (starting Dec. 2008) for the realization of research experiments as well as for teaching in disciplines ranging from Corporate Finance to Organizational Economics.
