Research Interests
My research focus is in applied microeconomics and behavioral economics. I combine theoretical, experimental and econometric methods to improve our understanding of decision making.
​
In my job market paper, I study the role of reference dependence and goals in the intrinsic motivation of effort. Using field data from an chess website, I estimate a structural, dynamic discrete choice model of the decision to end a playing session, which allows me to answer fundamental questions about the motivational function of reference dependent preferences.
