Dr. Luca Henkel is an Assistant Professor at the Erasmus School of Economics (Erasmus University Rotterdam), specializing in the Finance department. His research focuses on behavioral economics, public health policy, and decision-making under uncertainty. He has conducted extensive work analyzing psychological factors influencing health behaviors, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, including vaccination uptake and societal polarization linked to health policies.
Key research interests include pandemic response strategies, motivational biases in historical narratives, and the design of effective health interventions. His work integrates experimental economics, behavioral science, and policy analysis to address real-world challenges in public health.
- Published 5 peer-reviewed articles since 2022, with significant attention to pandemic-related topics.
- Collaborations with experts in psychology (e.g., Dr. Cornelia Betsch) and public health researchers.
- Focus on translating research into actionable policy recommendations for vaccine adoption and crisis management.
Notably, his 2023 study in Nature highlighted how biased pandemic narratives hinder crisis preparedness, while his 2022 paper on vaccination incentives in Germany influenced public health discourse. Current projects explore decision-making frameworks in ambiguous environments and the ethical dimensions of public health policies.
