Economics

Introduction

I am an economist who conducts economic experiments to test game theory and decision theory predictions and foster development of behavioral game theory.  I also employ neuroeconomic techniques including eyetracking to study the decision-making process and information acquisition.  Finally, I apply experimental methods to various social sciences, so I have published in flagship journals of the American Economic Association, American Political Science Association, European Economic Association, Association for Psychological Science, Game Theory Society and Society for Empirical Legal Studies.

 

 

 

The Taiwan Social Sciences Experimental Laboratory (TASSEL) provides public goods for experimenters in economics and other social sciences to conduct controlled experiments in the laboratory and/or online where real incentives are required and subject deception is not allowed.
