Current research
In general, I combine theoretical and experimental tools on three main research agendas:
- People's preferences for redistribution, their attitudes towards taxation, and the behavioural effects oftax policy.
- Collective decision-making and the behavioural effects of different democratic, voting, and group deliberation processes.
- People's attitudes towards freedom, equality of opportunity, and decision rights.
I am also interested in the intersection of these topics and other subjects such as welfare measurement and behavioural change interventions like nudges and boosts.
