Mission Statement

Many pressing societal problems are behavioral in nature. To tackle them, we believe it is paramount to advance our understanding of human behavior and the factors that shape it. With our research, we hope to effectively help people make smarter decisions in complex environments.

Vision

Changing one’s behavior is difficult, and there are many barriers to change. Our research is guided by insights from behavioral economics, which provides tools to identify and overcome these barriers, allowing us to design interventions to help people make better decisions.

Financial: investment, insurance, planning, organization, speculation, gambling
Security: cyber security and workplace security
Business: advertising, consumer purchases, customer–employee interactions
(un)Ethical behavior: lying, cheating

Factors Shaping Behavior

Socio-economic: income, gender, social environment
Physiological and psychological: stress, stereotypes, cognitive capabilities, emotions
Information and education

Methodology

Field, laboratory, and online experiments
Formal theory
