Research Overview
My research interests are in Economic Theory, Bounded Rationality, and Experiments.
Experimental evidence has challenged the presumption that economic agents are rational. My research investigates the implications of replacing the full rationality assumption with a more realistic assumption of bounded rationality on relevant aspects of important economic phenomena, such as financial decisions and the consumer’s behaviour in the market place. From a methodological point of view, my approach involves both the development and the analysis of models and the design and the implementation of experiments.
