Claudia's research lies at the intersection of experimental economics, game theory, and behavioural economics. Her work investigates strategic behavior, decision-making under social and psychological constraints, and institutional design. Key themes include procrastination, fairness, incentive mechanisms, and market design. She employs both theoretical modeling and laboratory experiments to explore human behavior in strategic contexts.
Her recent publications span top journals such as The Economic Journal, Games and Economic Behavior, and Economic Inquiry. The articles reflect a consistent focus on behavioral microfoundations of economic decisions, with applications in education policy, procurement, and labor markets. Her research combines rigorous game-theoretic frameworks with empirical validation through controlled experiments.
