EXPERTISE
My general field of research is experimental and behavioral economics. In recent years, I specifically study the financial decision of professional and private investors using field experiments or surveys. The participants make predictions on future returns and take long or short investment positions, and their performance is evaluated in light of formal choice models and hypotheses stemming from psychology research.
