The Russell Sage Foundation has recently awarded three new small grants in Behavioral Economics. The foundation offers these grants on a rolling basis to support high quality research in behavioral economics and to encourage young investigators, including Ph.D. students and recent graduates, to enter the field. The most recent projects funded are:

Tommaso Bondi (New York University) – Using the Direct Method to Test for Time Discounting Anomalies

Jason Somerville (Cornell University) – Choice Set Distortions: Theory and Evidence

Alexandra Steiny (University of California, Berkeley) – The Deadly Cost of Stress: Hospital Merger Announcements and Patient Outcomes
