Behavioural and Experimental Economics
Behavioural and experimental economics combines insights from economics, psychology and related disciplines to better understand how people make decisions.
At the Department of Economics, researchers in this area use lab and field experiments, as well as theory, to study individual and collective decision-making, cooperation, risk, social norms and the design of policy instruments. Current research includes stereotype formation, public goods provision, nudges for sustainable consumption, happiness, self-control, interaction with AI, and gender differences in economic behavior and decision-making.
This research area is one of several partly overlapping areas of expertise at the Department of Economics. Many researchers are active in more than one area.
