Overview
Information about the state of the environment can be critical for promoting environmentally friendly and socially beneficial behaviors when people are facing social dilemma choices. However, it is not clear if individuals will be willing to spread this information for the benefit of everyone else. This project aims to understand how socially beneficial actions propagate when information is asymmetric.
Research activities
You will be working with a team of mathematicians and economists interested in modelling human behaviour. We utilise game theory, a field in applied mathematics, to gain intuition into why people make choices the way they do, and try to understand if we can influence those choices.
Outcomes
A research article/thesis.
Skills and experience
