Research summary

Timothy N. Cason uses controlled experiments (both lab-based and real-world 'field' experiments) to study how people make economic decisions in settings like auctions, environmental regulation, public goods provision, and market competition. His work often examines cooperation, communication, and fairness among decision-makers, with applications to environmental policy such as emissions trading and conservation programs. This research combines behavioral economics and game theory to understand and improve the design of markets and institutions.
