Intro
Colin Camerer is a Professor of Behavioral Economics at Caltech, widely recognized as a trailblazer in the fields of Neuroeconomics and Behavioral Game Theory. Camerer’s work has been important in linking developments in the field of neuroscience with economic research in areas such as risk, self-control, and strategic choice. His research is highly experimental and uses scientific methods such as eye-tracking and neuroimaging to explain behavior and decision-making in a variety of economic field environments. Camerer’s research has been applied to economic behavior including price bubbles, market trading, and evaluations of future gains and losses. He has published over 200 papers and worked on four books, most notably Behavioral Game Theory (2003), which remains a staple textbook for students of microeconomics and behavioral economics alike.
Camerer's innovative thinking and modeling acumen are fostering an even more nuanced analysis of individual behavior and the practical policy implications of neuroscientific insights about human decision making.
