John H. Kagel

John H. Kagel studies how people actually behave in economic situations like auctions, bargaining, and cooperation games, using controlled laboratory experiments rather than just theory. His work examines topics such as how groups negotiate over benefits, how teams versus individuals cooperate or compete, and how different auction designs affect bidding behavior. This research helps explain gaps between traditional economic predictions and real human decision-making.
