Economics Research Seminar: Erik Kimbrough Ph.D., Chapman University

Location: Room 1208
Professor Erik Kimbrough from Chapman University will present for the Economics Department Seminar Series. Professor Kimbrough's current research uses experiments to explore the underpinnings of prosociality, cooperation and conflict resolution and to identify the origins of economic institutions such as property rights. I have also worked on finding ways to increase the supply of transplantable organs, measuring the spitefulness of individuals, understanding the sources of asset price bubbles, evaluating individual theory of mind, and capturing the discovery process underlying specialization and trade, among other topics.
The Economics Department Seminar Series is open to the public, students and faculty from all disciplines are encouraged to attend.
