Experiments in Behavioral and Neuroeconomics

 
The aim of our research is to understand everyday decision-making and its underlying processes, both at the individual level and at the societal level. In particular, we investigate the interplay between intuition, reflection, and emotion in economic decision-making. We are interested in questions such as:

  • When and why are individuals willing to forsake personal gain in order to help others?
  • When and why do individuals make risky economic decisions?
  • How do people assign value to payoffs at different points in time?
  • How can the decision-making process be improved so that people make better decisions?

We address these questions using a variety of experimental methods, ranging from behavioral studies in the lab, online, and in the field to more novel methods from behavioral neuroscience, including neuroimaging (fMRI), skin conductance, eye-tracking, and genetic data.

Our research is funded by Ragnar Söderbergs stiftelse, Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation, Länsförsäkringar, the Swedish Research Council, and Riksbankens Jubileumsfond.
