Welcome!

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Prague University of Economic and Business (VŠE) and the Center for Inequality and Open Society (CIOS). I completed my PhD at the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER) and the University of Luxembourg.

My research uses lab and online experiments to study how concerns about social image (i.e., how we compare to others, and how we believe others think about us) influence economic and health-related decisions. I am particularly interested in peer effects, social norms, and the behavioral drivers of social contagion, including status concerns, and identity signaling, as well as in the experimental methods used to measure them.

The Hidden Struggle: Strategic Disclosure, Social Backlash, and Incentives among Adults with ADHD (single authored) [Manuscript in preparation]

In my job market paper, I present new experimental evidence on how fairness perceptions and second-order beliefs impact disclosure decisions involving concealable identities (particularly, neurodivergent traits like ADHD) in strategic interactions. This study investigates how neurodivergent adults navigate trade-offs between disclosure and anticipated discrimination, considering how stigma, identity, and social image concerns come into play in these decisions.
