Dan Levin's research uses experimental and theoretical methods to study how people make decisions under uncertainty, with a particular focus on auctions and bidding behavior. His work examines topics like ambiguity aversion, bounded rationality (the idea that people have limited cognitive ability to make fully rational choices), and how well game-theoretic models like Nash equilibrium predict real behavior in markets and auctions. This research falls within decision sciences and behavioral/experimental economics.
Publication output was relatively low and steady from 2017-2020, then grew sharply from 2021 onward, with a notable surge in 2023.
