Research from both field studies and lab experiments demonstrates that human decision-making often diverges from predictions made by neoclassical economic models. This research team examines the behavioral dimensions of economic choices to enhance existing theoretical frameworks and practical applications, while assessing behavioral approaches to public policy. We employ diverse methodologies including theoretical modeling, controlled lab experiments, real-world trials, survey research, and observational data analysis. Our team collaborates to explore behavioral insights across various economic domains such as organizational behavior, labor markets, healthcare economics, social welfare, industrial organization, and related fields.
Pursue doctoral studies at a prestigious Russell Group institution renowned for research excellence, where you can meaningfully advance economic knowledge and societal impact. You'll join a dynamic academic community with rigorous training opportunities, located in the Outdoor City adjacent to the scenic Peak District.
