Bio/Research Statement:
Economics is my home discipline. However, while economics has been developing powerful tools and models to understand how people make choices, the field has suffered from not paying serious enough attention to the role of social contexts in people's decision making process. My research interest is in incorporating and extending the insights from the economics and the social psychology disciplines. I believe this will lead to a fuller understanding of how people behave and in turn inform how to better design social institutions to serve the needs of people.
Current Research:
Studying how social information affects people's online behavior.
