Dr. Valon Vitaku

Assistant Professor
PhD, Texas A&M University, United States

Dr. Valon Vitaku's research interests are in behavioral and experimental economics, game theory and neuroeconomics. Sometimes he augments experiments with process data, e.g. eye-tracking, facial expressions and galvanic skin response, to explore mechanisms that affect decisions, perceptions of outcomes and conformity to rationality. His research has mainly focused on how information alters decision-making and market outcomes, and how it can be leveraged to achieve policy goals.
