About me  I am an applied microeconomist who uses behavioral and experimental approaches to study topics in public and labor economics, including motives for charitable giving, gender differences in bargaining and competition, discrimination, social media and the economic preferences of children.

I am a Professor in the Department of Economics at Texas A&M University. At A&M, I hold the George T. & Gladys H. Abell Professorship of Liberal Arts Endowment I and am a University Presidential Impact Fellow. I am a Fellow of the CESifo Research Network. I was a Professorial Fellow at the Melbourne Institute at University of Melbourne in Australia, where I was a member of the original Steering Committee for the monthly Taking the Pulse of the Nation survey. My PhD in Economics is from University of Wisconsin-Madison.

My research has been published in the Journal of Political Economy, American Economic Review, Economic Journal, Journal of Public Economics and Journal of Economic Literature. I am a co-editor at Experimental Economics. Media coverage of my research includes the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Chronicle of Philanthropy and Australian Financial Review. I have received grant funding from the National Science Foundation, the Science of Philanthropy Initiative and the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Foundation.
