BIO
I am Assistant Professor at the School of Economics, University College Dublin and Research Fellow at the Geary Institute for Public Policy. I hold a PhD in Economics from Lund University.
My research is in behavioural economics, where I use theoretical, empirical and (primarily) experimental methods to study individual decision-making. In particular, I focus on how social image, norms, and beliefs shape behaviour in labour markets and institutional settings.
