The BEECOS research group studies how people make decisions and cooperate (or not), and how their behaviour is shaped by uncertainty, organisational structures, social motives and material incentives. Building on economic theory and insights from management and psychology, the group uses laboratory and field experiments, as well as other empirical methods, to investigate economic behaviour within formal and informal organisations and in the context of broader societal challenges, including sustainability and technological change.
