Alex W Roomets serves as Associate Professor of Economics at Franklin and Marshall College, where he has maintained an active faculty position since 2014. Holding a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Arizona (2011), he specializes in experimental methodologies to investigate foundational questions in microeconomic and behavioral theory.
His research program centers on decision-making under ambiguity, bargaining dynamics, and fairness considerations. Professor Roomets employs controlled laboratory experiments to test theoretical predictions, with particular focus on ambiguity frameworks (e.g., Savage vs. Anscombe-Aumann comparisons), partnership dissolution mechanisms, and gender-based behavioral differences in economic contexts. His work consistently bridges theoretical economics with empirical validation through experimental design.
Analysis of his 15 publications spanning 2001-2023 reveals methodological evolution from early game-theoretic explorations (e.g., "On limited foresight in games", 2010) toward sophisticated ambiguity investigations and real-world applications. Key thematic clusters include wage distribution preferences affecting productivity, gender dynamics in household decision-making, and mechanical ambiguity testing. Publications demonstrate strong representation in behavioral game theory, experimental methodology, and ambiguity economics with consistent use of laboratory experimental approaches.
Professor Roomets teaches undergraduate economics courses including ECO100 (Introduction to Economic Principles), ECO200 (Intermediate Microeconomics), ECO350 (Game Theory), ECO371 (Experimental Economics), and ECO376 (Behavioral Economics). While specific grant funding and student advising details are not documented in available sources, his sustained publication record indicates an active research trajectory within experimental economics.
