Billur Aksoy

I am an experimental economist. My research is mainly focused on identity economics, social preferences, and discrimination. I am also interested in understanding human interaction with technology and technology’s impacts on economic outcomes. At RPI, I teach Behavioral Financial Economics and Experimental Economics. In my Behavioral Financial Economics course, we discuss emotional and cognitive biases and how they impact our financial and economic decisions. In my Experimental Economics course, students learn about experimental methods that we use in economics (and other related social sciences). Students also get the opportunity to put their knowledge in practice by running their own experiment in class.
