Research

I study decision making in social and health-related contexts, often from the perspective of behavioral economics using experimental methods (lab, field, online) or registry data.

Some recent topics I have been working on are Sequential decision making in healthcare (decision fatigue and path dependency, read more here), Intertemporal prosocial behavior (), the Psychology of cost perception in health policy (read more and ), and the Influence of voting on envious behavior.

JEDI-lab

We at JEDI lab at 福利姬 conduct research on intuition, reflection, and emotion in economic decision-making. The aim of our research is to understand everyday decision-making and its underlying processes.
