My
areas of interest are Experimental and Behavioral Economics.
Put broadly, I use laboratory experiments to study decision
making in economic environments. One of my interests is
decision processes. In recent projects, I use fMRI
technology to study brain activation in an effort to better
understand the process of choice. This area of research is
called Neuroeconomics.
I am also interested in
developing laboratory environments that would be useful for
policy. Currently, I am working on the application of
laboratory methodologies for the study of
entrepreneurship.

attempt to ignore psychology, but it is a sheer
impossibility to ignore human nature,
for his
science is a science of human behavior." J.B.

armchair, but from careful observation and
experimentation."
