Chen Li

Chen Li serves as a Full Professor in Behavioural Economics at Erasmus School of Economics, Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her research centers on decision-making under uncertainty and over time, examining how ambiguity attitudes affect economic choices across social contexts and demographic groups.

Her core research domains include Behavioral Economics, Decision Making under Uncertainty, Ambiguity Aversion, Social Interactions, and Bayesian Updating. She investigates psychological mechanisms behind economic decisions, particularly focusing on how poverty influences risk perception and how learning shapes belief formation in uncertain environments. Her work bridges theoretical models with empirical validation through controlled experiments.

Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals a cohesive trajectory in ambiguity and uncertainty research. Key themes include experimental methods for measuring deviations from Bayesian updating, theoretical frameworks for tractable ambiguity modeling, and the observability of preference structures in social interactions. Her work consistently integrates mathematical rigor with behavioral insights, advancing methodologies for studying decision processes in complex economic scenarios.
