RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am a behavioral economist doing research
in the field of personnel economics.

I am interested in the optimal structure of incentive schemes, especially in the workplace. I am currently working on the efficacy and efficiency of gift exchange, the optimality of high-powered incentives, among others.

Past conference in Chile: BePE and Behavioral Workshop [more to come!].
