Philipp Sadowski, Associate Professor

Philipp Sadowski

Philipp Sadowski's work focuses on microeconomic theory, decision theory and behavioral economics. A central research interest is to better understand the interaction between observable economic behavior and the often not directly observable formation of beliefs. Topics include subjective learning, rational inattention, changing tastes, and other-regarding motives such as shame and magical thinking. Philipp's research has been published in leading journals, presented internationally, and supported by the National Science Foundation.

Professor Sadowski researches topics in microeconomic theory. Most of his work investigates how individuals make decisions from an axiomatic, decision theoretic perspective but is also influenced by the rich evidence on economic decisions collected by behavioral economists and psychologists. Currently he is particularly interested in decisions that involve other agents, and in situations where the decision maker has access to information that the analyst is unaware of.
