I presented an early version of this project at LUISS, Italy, CARBS, Cardiff University, Wales, Swansea University, Wales and London Business School, England.
Drouvelis, M., & Pearce, G.
We examine how loss aversion, a cognitive bias where a loss is felt more intensely than an equally sized gain, can sustain cooperation in indefinitely repeated games.
The demand for commercial sex in the UK: Evidence from a nationwide audit study
I presented a very preliminary version of this work at ISEG in Lisbon, Portugal.
Drouvelis, M., & Pearce, G.
