Welcome to my web page!
My name is Paul M. Gorny and I am a postdoctoral researcher (Akademischer Rat auf Zeit) at the Chair of Human Resource Management (Institute of Management) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). I obtained my PhD from the University of East Anglia and my bachelor's and my research track master's degree from the Cologne Graduate School (CGS) at the University of Cologne.
I am a behavioral and experimental economist whose work examines how both gendered language and emerging technologies shape economic behaviour and human interaction. In my job market paper I study how gender embedded in job advertisements influences perceptions and decisions surrounding hiring and applications. Another research streams investigates how the presence of artificial intelligence and robots reshapes human behaviour—particularly within human–human interaction and team collaboration settings.
My research relies primarily on laboratory and field experiments as well as randomized controlled trials, and I complement these with projects using administrative, platform, and textual data. I am strongly committed to methodological innovation, integrating tools such as eye-tracking, biosensors, and advanced computational methods to deepen behavioural insights.
I am currently on the 2025/26 academic job market.
During my PhD, I worked on Contest Theory and Networks with a particular focus on studies that apply to Conflict, Identity and asymmetries in skills, prize valuations, and costs.
