My research interests cover different fields of agricultural and applied microeconomics, in particular, connecting behavioral and experimental economics to development and agricultural economics. In my recent research projects, I’m studying the temporal stability of risk attitudes. I’m further interested whether changes in risk attitudes lead to changes in economic decision-making. Furthermore, I’m investigating the link between behavioral attitudes and how households share risks with each other in social networks.
