Presentation
Our research focuses on decision-making and social interactions. It is divided into 3 scientific orientations:
1- Institutions and preferences: formation of moral and social preferences, role of economic, emotional and neural mechanisms, efficiency of institutions.
2- Cognition and motivations: role of mental process, emotions and beliefs in the processing of risk, uncertainty and information.
3- Incentives and organisation: role of identity, interactions between humans and robots, artificial intelligence in organisations.
On the methodological level, we apply decision theory and game theory, we develop laboratory and field experiments, we conduct cross-cultural studies, we implement virtual reality, and we collect physiological and biological measures.
Main topics:
Unethical behaviour
Incentives and peer effects
Cooperation
Information transmission
Cognitive and behavioural finance
Decisions under risk and uncertainty
