Brandts, Jordi
Jordi Brandts has been a member of the Institute since 1993. Previously he has been professor at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and visiting professor at the University of California at Berkeley. His research areas are experimental economics and public economics.
His current work focuses on analyzing, by means of experiments, three main issues. The first consists in delineating the precise nature of interdependent preferences, the second in the study of strategic behavior and its relation to equilibrium analysis and the third in the characterization of the performance of different experimental market mechanisms. He is also interested in the redistributive effects of government intervention.
