Two questions inspire my research: (1) How do people make decisions? (2) How can you help people make better decisions? I do not limit myself to any particular area of activity (e.g., economic), but look across many domains (e.g., medicine, individual life choices, etc,). I also use different research methods: mathematical models to capture what people are or should be doing; experiments; and observations of actual decisions. Key words
decision making; cognitive psychology
