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 main
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.
I am an affiliated faculty of Emory's
new Center for
Neuropolicy . I
am also affiliated with the Latin American and Caribbean
Studies Program ( LACS), the Institute for Human Rights (
IHR) at Emory, and the EXCEN lab at Georgia State
University.

"The economist may attempt
to ignore psychology, but it is a sheer impossibility to
ignore human nature,
for his science is a
science of human behavior." J.M. Clark,
1918
"Facts do not come from the armchair,
but from careful observation and experimentation."
