My research and teaching fall primarily within the area of financial economics, managerial economics, behavioral economics, experimental economics, behavioral finance and law and economics. My research revolves around the theme of decision-making in organizational and market settings.

I use both framed-field and laboratory experiments and I also collect data in organizations and firms. Here is a link to my CV, my IDEAS Page, my Google Scholar Page and Hal page.
