Marcus Giamattei

Prof. Dr. Marcus Giamattei is a Professor of Economics at Frankfurt School of Finance and Management and an External Fellow at the University of Passau's Chair of Economics with a focus on Economic Theory. His primary affiliation is with the University of Passau's School of Business, Economics and Information Systems.

His research interests span Behavioral and Experimental Economics, Experimental Macroeconomics, Economics of Corruption, and Experimental Ethics. He specializes in innovative experimental methodologies, including online experiments, lab-in-the-field studies, and classroom-based research. Key platforms developed include the LIONESS Lab (a free web-based experimentation tool) and classEx (an online tool for smartphone-based experiments).

His work bridges theoretical economic models with empirical validation through controlled experiments, addressing topics like wage rigidity, disinflation strategies, anti-bribery policy design, and market bubble formation. He emphasizes the application of technology to expand experimental reach, particularly through smartphone integration in field and classroom settings.

Prof. Giamattei collaborates internationally, contributing to the Center for Decision Research and Experimental Economics (CeDEx) at the University of Nottingham and the Centre for Research in the Behavioural Sciences (CRIBS). His research often explores how behavioral biases influence macroeconomic phenomena and policy effectiveness, with a focus on real-world applicability.
