Welcome!

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute for Markets and Strategy at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) doing research in Behavioral and Experimental Economics and Finance. Applying the tools of experimental economics, I work on topics relating to financial markets, such as issues regarding market efficiency and bubbles, decision-making under uncertainty, and (un)ethical behavior.

I am also Research Associate at the Economic Science Laboratory of the University of Arizona and Code & Data Associate Editor for Management Science.

News

[2023-05] The #ManyDesigns metastudy has just been published in PNAS: Competition and moral behavior: A meta-analysis of forty-five crowd-sourced experimental designs! With collaborators from 70+ institutions in 18 different countries we find a small adverse effect of competition on moral behavior and identify substantial 'design heterogeneity'.
[2022-10] Our paper Heterogeneity of Beliefs and Trading Behavior: A Reexamination (with Sascha Füllbrunn, Catherine Eckel, and Utz Weitzel) has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis!
[2022-08] Experimental Finance is on the rise! Our new survey of experiments in finance (Experiments in finance: A survey of historical trends, with Michael Kirchler, forthcoming in Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Finance) shows that the number of papers using experiments in top finance journals – as well as the number of experimental finance studies in top economics journals – has been increasing substantially over the last two decades.
[2022-06] Our preprint Cooperation among an anonymous group protected Bitcoin during failures of decentralization (with A. Blackburn, Y. Eliaz, M.S. Shamim, D. Weisz, G. Seshadri, K. Kim, S. Hang, E. Lieberman Aiden) is now out on arXiv – it also featured in the New York Times, Coindesk, and ORF.
