Sebastian J. Goerg

Sebastian J. Goerg is an Associate Professor of Economics at Technical University of Munich, affiliated with the Chair of Economics and TUMCS for Biotechnology and Sustainability. He is also a Research Fellow at the TUM School of Management, IZA Institute of Labor Economics, and MPI for Research on Collective Good.

His research lies at the intersection of Behavioral Economics and Experimental Economics, with a focus on Environmental Economics, Public Policy, and Game Theory. Recent work examines social norm nudges, behavioral spillovers from norm violations, and the impact of Germany’s public transport policies like the 9-Euro-Ticket. He investigates how incentives, implicit effort costs, and psychological factors shape decision-making in economic contexts.

His publication trends highlight empirical studies on cooperation, rationalization of information, consumer behavior for sustainable products, and gender dynamics in unethical behavior. Collaborations with institutions like TUM School of Management and IZA underscore his interdisciplinary approach. Goerg’s work combines lab and field experiments to address questions in Environmental Policy, Transport Economics, and Social Norms.

Goerg contributes extensively to methodological discussions, including reproducibility in Management Science and non-parametric statistical testing. His work has appeared in journals like Management Science, European Economic Review, and Games and Economic Behavior.
