Conducts research in behavioural economics and decision-making, using methods from experimental economics
The University of Calgary Behavioral and Experimental Economics Laboratory (CBEEL) provides an ideal environment for conducting computer-aided experiments in decision-making, behavioural economics and social science experiments. Through this lab, we are able to test decision-making processes, the psychological foundations of decision making, policy instruments and the design of market interventions. Previous research conducted in the laboratory has explored topics of environmental regulation, property rights institutions, and the role of affect in decision-making (with an eye towards decision-making under risk and over time).
