Laboratory/research office Group Decision-Making Laboratory
How does the behavior of groups differ from that of individuals, and why? In many real-life situations, decisions are made by groups or teams of two or more individuals, such as families, boards of directors, legislatures and committees. Although a growing number of studies have compared the behavior of groups and individuals, economists still know little about the mechanism of group behavior. Our lab addresses this question using the framework of experimental economics to elucidate the characteristics of group behavior.
