Charlie Sprenger is a behavioral experimental economist with a research focus 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 or the implementation of vaccination programs. His work has shown that standard economic models of behavior are not always consistent with how people act in real life. By integrating principles of behavioral economics, he aims to understand the complexities of decision making, especially under uncertainty.
