I study microeconomics from two angles. On one hand, I study economic behavior—how people make choices, form preferences, and where their decisions deviate from rationality due to cognitive biases, especially in the context of risk and uncertainty. I explore how behavioral factors shape decisions related to consumption, health, and retirement. To better understand these mechanisms, I conduct laboratory, online, and field experiments. On the other hand, I analyze how markets function and how competition shapes economic outcomes. I focus on cases where market equilibrium is disrupted, often leading to inefficiencies and outcomes that go against the public interest.JEL Codes
