Background
I conduct tightly controlled laboratory and online
experiments to address questions in the areas of personnel economics, public
policy and market design. My research can be divided into two streams:
·
The first stream deals with questions relating
to trust and reciprocity - when and why people trust one another and how they
respond to being (dis)trusted/discriminated against in different social
settings.
·
The second stream investigates cooperative
behaviour in global and local public good funding dilemmas.
