The aim of our research is to understand everyday decision-making and its underlying processes, both at the individual level and at societal level. In particular, we investigate the interplay between intuition, reflection, and emotion in economic decision-making. We are interested in questions such as:

• When and why are individuals willing to forsake personal gain in order to help others?
• When and why do individuals make risky economic decisions?
• How do people assign value to payoffs at different points in time?
• How can the decision-making process be improved so that people make better decisions?

We address these questions using a variety of experimental methods, ranging from behavioral studies in the lab and in the field to more novel methods from behavioral neuroscience, including neuroimaging (fMRI), skin conductance, eye-tracking, and genetic data.
