Marissa Lepper is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Texas A&M University's College of Agriculture & Life Sciences. She holds a BA in Economics and Psychology from Trinity University (2015), an MA in Economics from the University of Texas at Austin (2017), and a PhD in Economics from the University of Pittsburgh (2023).

Her research leverages laboratory experiments, online surveys, and empirical methods to investigate labor market dynamics and financial decision-making, with a focus on intertemporal choice and the economics of information. Key interests include the behavioral drivers of impatient decision-making and its socioeconomic implications.

Recent publications demonstrate methodological rigor in experimental economics, exploring procrastination mechanisms, experimental design biases, and digital research adaptations. Her work consistently integrates behavioral theory with practical economic applications.
