Timothy Cason

Timothy Cason's research uses experimental economics methods to study how people behave in markets, auctions, and competitive social situations. His recent work examines topics like whether local competition encourages harmful behavior toward strangers, how moral considerations play out in markets with network effects (where a product's value depends on how many others use it), and how bidders coordinate spatially in conservation auctions (competitive processes used to allocate funding for environmental protection). The work relies on controlled experiments and data-sharing practices, including publishing replication datasets alongside papers.

Publication output was minimal or absent for much of the past decade but has picked up noticeably in the most recent years (2021, 2024-2026), suggesting a recent increase in activity.
