Research summary
Hannah's current research focuses on social preferences and the design of behavioural interventions, testing insights from behavioural sciences through lab- and field-experiments. She is particularly interested in the effect of fairness concerns and how individuals acquire and use new information. Other research interests include the role of habits and social norms, especially related to health and environmental behaviours.
