Research

My main research interests lie in the fields of  behavioural economics, evolutionary economics, happiness economics, emotional decision-making, and trust. Other interests include cultural and institutional economics, political economy, social theory, and philosophy of science.

If you are interested in any of these topics, I would be glad to talk to you! Just drop me a message.
