I joined the Economics Department at Emory University in 2003.

My areas of interest are Experimental and Behavioral Economics.  Put broadly, I use laboratory experiments to study decision making in strategic environments. One of my main interests is decision processes. In some of my most current projects, I use fMRI technology to study brain activation during choice.  I am also interested in developing laboratory environments that would be useful for development policy.  Currently, I am working on evaluating alternative measures of trust, and on the application of laboratory methodologies for the study of entrepreneurship.

I am affiliated with the Latin American Studies Program ( LACS) and the Institute for Human Rights
( IHR) at Emory, and with the EXCEN lab at Georgia State University. You can learn more about what I do by clicking on the links found on the left frame of this page.
