His work revolves around three main themes: behavioral ethics (e.g. the effect of competition on dishonesty), behavioral economics (e.g. the relationship between ownership status and prices) and behavioral law (e.g. how heuristics and biases in decision-making affect people’s interpretations, understanding and evaluations of the law in general and contractual obligation in particular).
