Work in Progress

1. Heterogeneity in probability perception and its effect on insurance decisions: How does partisanship affect our daily decisions?
   
   • Pilot study funded by the DSRG (Doctoral Student Research Grant).
   
   • Short abstract: I designed the experiment to analyze how voters’ perceptions of crime, influenced by partisan media, affect insurance decisions, leading to suboptimal deductible choices. The experiment also tests whether revealing this bias can correct decision-making and whether the correction is lasting.
   
2. Productivity slowdown: How does heterogeneous news impact performance in diverse tasks?
   
   • Pilot study funded by the DSRG (Doctoral Student Research Grant).
   
   • Short abstract: I designed the experiment to analyze how exposure to different types of news content (positive, negative, neutral) affects workers’ productivity across various tasks and explores whether financial incentives or opposite news can reverse these effects.
