Our lab investigates social decision-making with a specific focus on philanthropic behavior, from a multidisciplinary point of view.

We adopt research methods from many traditions:

1) Behavioral economics and finance

2) Cognitive psychology and neuroscience

3) Artificial Intelligence and big-data

Through these lenses we seek to explain why and how people and/or organizations engage in philanthropic endeavors.

The lab is housed in the Geneva Finance Research Institute (GFRI) of the Geneva School of Economics and Management (GSEM) at the University of Geneva and is directed by Professor Giuseppe Ugazio.
