Research
As an experimental and behavioral economist, Sandra uses agent-based computational models and experimental methods in the lab and field to explore prosocial economic behavior. Her recent work has focused on sucker aversion and responsibility aversion in giving to and doing for others, the use of ecosystem services valuation (ESV) in promoting environmental philanthropy, the effects of emotions, especially guilt, on ethical consumption, and the effects of formal and informal economics instruction on attitudes towards market systems, externalities, and government intervention.
