Kneeland

I am an Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Calgary and the Director of the Calgary Behavioural and Experimental Economics Laboratory (CBEEL).

My main research fields are Experimental Economics, Behavioural Economics and Game Theory. I use theory and experiments to study strategic reasoning, decision-making, and the boundaries of rational choice.
