Jason Shachat serves as the Dunn Distinguished Visiting Professor of Economics within the Economic Science Institute at Chapman University. He earned his B.S. in Mathematical Economics from Tulane University (1988) and Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Arizona (1997). Prior to Chapman, he held full-time academic positions at the University of California – San Diego, National University of Singapore, and Xiamen University, and was a research scientist at IBM TJ Watson Research Lab.
His primary research areas include experimental economics, behavioural game theory, behavioural operations management, asset markets, and auctions. His work has been published in top-tier journals including Management Science, Marketing Science, Economic Journal, and Journal of Economic Theory.
Analysis of his recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a strong emphasis on experimental asset markets, auction mechanisms, and the behavioral implications of epidemics (e.g., COVID-19) on social preferences and market efficiency. His research often involves cross-cultural studies and the application of experimental methods to real-world economic problems, with increasing focus on algorithmic trading impacts and cognitive factors in decision-making.
Shachat has secured significant competitive research funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) (UK), the National Science Foundation (NSF) (USA), and the Ministry of Education (MOE) (China).
He is actively affiliated with the Economic Science Institute at Chapman University, which provides the infrastructure for his experimental research and collaboration with international scholars through cross-cultural studies and large-scale experimental designs.
