Moses Shayo

Moses Shayo is a Visiting Researcher at the Research Department Market Behavior, Hertie School in Berlin. His work focuses on the intersection of political economy, social identity, and behavioral economics, particularly analyzing how identities shape redistribution preferences, conflict dynamics, and consumer behavior.

His research combines empirical studies with theoretical frameworks that model identities and individual behavior as endogenously determined. A notable contribution was presented in the Karl W. Deutsch Lecture, where he collaborated with Inbal Dekel to explore social learning and identity-driven responses to group behavior across cultures.
