Research Interest

  • Behavioral and Experimental Economics
  • Labor Economics
  • Monetary and Non-Monetary Incentives

Research Projects

My research focuses on the impact of incentives from a behavioral economics perspective using an experimental approach. Besides the impact of piece rate cuts on performance, I analyze the effectiveness of monetary and non-monetary incentives and shed light on the impact of gender differences. My research projects aim to understand the underlying psychological mechanisms of incentives as this is crucial to implement them effectively.
