Research summary
AI-generated

Martin Dufwenberg works in behavioral and experimental economics, focusing on how emotions, moral concerns, and beliefs about others' expectations shape economic decisions. Much of his work develops and applies psychological game theory to topics like lying, promise-keeping, guilt, tax evasion, and corruption, often using formal models and laboratory experiments. Note that a few unrelated medical-imaging titles appear in the publication list, likely due to author-name overlap in the underlying database rather than this researcher's own work.
