About my research
My field of study is behavioral economics, which integrates the research findings of psychology and sociology into economics. My research theme is ‘nudges’, which aim to promote better behavior in people by improving the content of information provided and the way choices are presented, without using large monetary incentives. I am also working on the social implementation of these nudges.
