Louis Strang

Louis Strang is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Corporate Development and Business Ethics within the Faculty of Management, Economics, and Social Science at the University of Cologne. He is affiliated with the Center for Social and Economic Behavior (C-SEB) and serves as an Associated Member of the EconTribute: Markets & Public Policy Research Cluster, a joint initiative of the Universities of Bonn and Cologne.

He earned his PhD in Economics from the University of Bonn in 2019.

His research focuses on Experimental Economics and Behavioral Economics, with specific expertise in intertemporal decision making, social preferences, fairness perceptions, and moral behavior. Methodologically, he employs controlled laboratory and online experiments to dissect behavioral patterns in economic contexts, particularly examining how psychological factors influence real-world decisions.

Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals consistent exploration of behavioral anomalies: concentration bias in time preferences, observability effects on prosocial actions, redistribution dynamics in zero-sum environments, and task-matching impacts on motivation. These works bridge economic theory with empirical behavioral data, significantly contributing to labor economics, public economics, and decision theory through rigorous experimental design.

No information is available regarding doctoral or master's students advised by Dr. Strang, nor details of research grants he may have secured.

His current research within the Center for Social and Economic Behavior (C-SEB) and EconTribute cluster investigates delegation mechanisms in financial investment, media-driven selective country comparisons, and news impacts on authoritarian preferences, reflecting an ongoing commitment to understanding socio-economic behavior through interdisciplinary collaboration.
