Eldar Shafir is a Professor of Behavioral Science and Public Policy at Princeton University, where he explores the intricacies of reasoning, judgment, and decision-making, particularly in the context of behavioral economics. His research emphasizes descriptive studies that investigate how individuals make judgments and decisions in situations characterized by conflict and uncertainty. Shafir's work focuses on the strategies people employ to arrive at their decisions, questioning how these strategies can lead to systematic biases and predictable errors in reasoning. A central theme in his research is the tension between normative assumptions and behavioral findings, particularly in the domain of decision-making amidst poverty. He leverages behavioral research to inform policies aimed at addressing these challenges, aiming to improve decision-making in real-world scenarios.
