Charlie Sprenger is a behavioral experimental economist whose research focuses on intertemporal decision making and decision making under uncertainty. He designs experiments to test how people behave when faced with decisions, such as food choices and participation in vaccination programs. His experiments have demonstrated that standard economic models of behavior may not be consistent with how people act in real-life situations. Sprenger has made contributions to the fields of Behavioral Economics and Intertemporal Choice, exploring how individuals make choices over time and evaluate risk. He has served as a professor at Caltech and has held various academic positions, including being an executive officer and a board editor for several economic journals. His work has implications not only for theoretical research but also for practical applications in policy and program implementation.
