Mar 2014Jun 2014 · 3 mos · Greater San Diego Area

  • As a research assistant for Uri Gneezy's Behavioral Economics lab, I assisted Prof. Gneezy and his graduate students in constructing and conducting experiments published in academic journals.
  • I am passionate about human behavior and how "irrational actors" conduct themselves in economic environments. As a sociologist, this experience in Behavioral Economics is allowing me to analyze the decision making process through more of an individualistic lens than does traditional sociology. Through this experience, I engaged both in lab and field experiment studies. Some of the critical skills I developed include:
  • Implementing experimental behavioral economics research for Professor Uri Gneezy.
  • Developing critical and analytical skills through lab projects.
  • Experiencing firsthand the experiment design process.
  • Engaging in "pay-what-you-want" field experiments and in-lab studies.
