Research

Interests

Behavioral science, judgement and decision making, consumer wellbeing, public policy 

My research is in the area of behavioral science and its applications to consumer wellbeing, marketing and policy. I take a behavioral economics approach to study consumer decision making, using field and laboratory data.  My research has covered a broad range of topics such at looking at how nudges can encourage organizations improve tax compliance, increase organ donor registrations, and help consumers stay committed to their long term goals.
