Biography
Prof Steven joined the IfW in October 2013 after completing his PhD studies at the University of Pittsburgh. His dissertation, "Essays on social capital and coordination," used experimental economic methods to study how peoples' generalized trust impacts their decision-making in coordination games, how others' expectations influence decisions in coordination games, and how crime impacts peoples' trust and decision making. Steven is now working on the project "Caring Economics" supported by the Institute for New Economic Thinking. This project takes an interdisciplinary approach to human decision-making to explore the ways in which peoples' motivations may depend on context. We combine evolutionary, biological and psychological approaches with economic models and seek to test their predictions.
