Keyu Wu

Welcome! 

I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Economics at Harvard University. I obtained my Ph.D in Economics from University of Zurich

I use experiments, simple models, and interdisciplinary approaches to study individual decision-making, market behavior, and economic preferences. 

My current research investigates the questions of: (i) the nature of context-dependent perceptual biases and their consequences on decisions; (ii) how consumers interact with sellers in markets with complex products, (iii) the psychological foundations of ambiguity aversion and (iv) the impact of redistributive institutions on social preferences and social capital. 

Research fields:

Behavioral economics

Experimental economics

Applied microeconomics
