My research investigates how cognitive biases shape risk-taking behaviour in gambling and investment. Utilising data from online gambling, experimental studies, and theoretical modelling, I aim to deepen our understanding of these behaviours and inform policies that promote sound financial decision-making.
Thomas is interested in behavioural and microeconomic theory, interdisciplinary research, and experimental economics. He is currently working on research aimed at building an understanding of the connection between measures of social value orientation used in Psychology and social preference models in economics. He is part of the School's ERC PRINCIPLES project.
I am interested in modelling social behaviour using game-theoretic and computational tools. My latest research investigates how social norms evolve in polarised societies.
I have a wide range of research interests, including human cognition, rule-following, household finance, experimental and behavioural economics, public policy, and data-based research.
I am currently working on two separate projects. The first is investigating the impact of automatic pension enrollment, titled 'An object stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force: How pension auto-enrolment and the force of inertia cause debt'. The second is focused on understanding why humans follow rules and building a framework for this, titled 'Simon Says: Why do we do what Simon says?'.
My supervisors are Professor John Gathergood and Professor Simon Gächter. I am funded by the ESRC DPT.
My research interest lies in behavioural economics, cognitive economics and experimental economics. In particular, I am studying how interaction influences people's reasoning and preference.
My current research is in the field of behavioural economics and experimental economics, focusing on the investigation of coordination behaviour and team reasoning using lab experiments.
My research interests are behavioral and experimental economics. Currently I am working on promise-keeping behavior.
My research interests are mainly behavioural and experimental economics. Currently, I am interested in network equilibrium and decision-making in networks.
My research interests lie in behavioural and experimental economics, with a focus on deceptive, non-cooperative and anti-social behaviour. My supervisors are Abigail Barr and Maria Montero.
I focus on experimental and behavioural economics. In particular, I’m interested in the psychology and economics of human cooperation: what makes humans uniquely cooperative and social; what governs altruism and reciprocity; and how and why we follow rules and social norms. I also study how opportunities to punish—by peers or centralised authorities—affect the sustainability of cooperation. More broadly, I’m interested in interdisciplinary work linking economics with cognitive science, biology, and neuroscience to build a fuller picture of why humans act the way they do.
I use theoretical and experimental tools to analyse how morality and social norms affect human decision-making as well as economic outcomes. This includes the formation and evolution of norms, determinants of norm compliance and implications for public policy.
My research interests are primarily within Behavioural Economics. My current research is investigating blood donor behaviour to advance our understanding of human cooperation. Specifically, I am working on temporal preferences and how intrinsic motivation can effect donation utility in varying time domains. My supervisors at Nottingham are Prof Eamonn Ferguson and Prof Chris Starmer.
My research interests lie in the study of social norms, with particular interest in norm formation and change, and whether and why incorrect norms can form or can persist. I am also interested in social misperceptions such as pluralistic ignorance.
My research interest lies in Behavioral and Experimental Economics. Currently, I'm working on the decision process of self-promotion with consideration of intrinsic preferences and strategical thinking.
I am an applied microeconomist with interests in theory, behavioral economics, and empirical methods, including experiments, causal inference, and machine learning. Currently, I am studying how preferences over information self-reinforce among people within groups.
