Research summary

Steven Y. Wu's identifiable body of work centers on experimental and applied economics, particularly how pricing rules, taxes (such as soda taxes), and contract structures affect behavior, tested through laboratory experiments and field data in agricultural and consumer contexts. Note that the publication list attached to this name appears to mix in unrelated work from other fields (e.g., machine learning, physiology education, wireless power engineering), suggesting possible name overlap with other researchers rather than a single coherent research program. Prospective students should verify direct authorship and current research focus before assuming these represent one person's full body of work.
