Biography

Carsten de Dreu is a professor at the University of Groningen where he specializes in Micro-economics, Industrial Organization, and Game Theory. His research investigates the mechanisms that underlie cooperation, creativity, and conflict within groups. His approach is broadly interdisciplinary, incorporating elements from behavioral sciences, business economics, and biological sciences. This includes the study of organizational behavior and experimental economics as well as neurobiology and evolutionary theory. His work not only focuses on human dynamics but also extends to animal species, particularly non-human primates. De Dreu conducts empirical research involving laboratory experiments and utilizes evolutionary agent-based simulations alongside quantitative reviews and meta-analyses to test theoretical predictions.
