Francisco Gómez Martínez

I study how behavioral forces shape markets and organizations.

I am an Assistant Professor (50%) and Postdoctoral Fellow (50%) at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. Previously, I was a a Postdoctoral Fellow at BI Norwegian Business School, Oslo (Norway) and a Lecturer (Visiting Assistant Professor) at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from Tinbergen Institute and the University of Amsterdam. I also hold an M.Sc. in Economics (Research) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). 

My research lies at the intersection of industrial organization and behavioral/experimental economics. I study consumer behavior, collusion, auctions, social responsibility in markets, and policy questions in antitrust and market design. Recent projects in organizational economics analyze the behavioral foundations of leadership and the design of evaluation systems. I combine microeconomic theory and game theory with laboratory and online experiments.
