In the last few years I have undertaken a number of projects on individual decision-making under various influences – frames, nudges, narratives, channels of attention and group membership.
“Alcohol, Behavioral Norms and Sexual Violence on US College Campuses”, joint with Julia Hoefer, was issued on March 28th 2022 as a Discussion Paper by the CEPR.

I am currently working with Selon Goksel, PhD student at the London Business School, on a project involving the influence of narrative framing on the effectiveness of Bayesian updating. We expect to submit results for publication in April 2022.
I am working with Etienne Danchin, Guillaume Isabel, Arnaud Pocheville, Sabine Noebel and Ricardo Santiago on a project on the effect of social learning on individual decision making, financed by the CNRS. Further details can be found here and here.
I am also working with my PhD student Julia Hoefer on the effect of various treatments on the propensity of social media users to share fake news.
