P.O. Box 616, 6200 MD Maastricht, The Netherlands - Research interests
I work on intergroup conflict, discrimination, cooperation, metascience, and selected applied questions. Being an inveterate multidisciplinarist, I draw on the results and use the empirical methods and formal frameworks of several behavioral sciences, foremost: microeconomics and game theory, experimental psychology, and behavioral ecology. Correspondingly, my career path has crossed disciplinary boundaries a couple of times. Having studied mathematics and philosophy, I worked in philosophy of biology, business ethics, and experimental psychology, before settling on behavioral and experimental economics as my academic home base. - Memberships @
