Michael Mandler

Michael Mandler is a Professor of Economics in the Department of Economics at Royal Holloway College, University of London. His research spans behavioral economics, welfare economics, and game theory, with particular focus on decision-making under uncertainty and market efficiency.

Research interests center on behavioral welfare economics, asset pricing ambiguities, and information acquisition in markets. His work integrates psychological insights with economic models to explore:

• Distributive justice frameworks for welfare policies
• Endogenous volatility in financial markets
• Lexicographic preference structures in rational choice
• Efficient learning mechanisms in strategic environments

Recent publications (2013-2024) demonstrate consistent exploration of ambiguity effects in economic systems, welfare tradeoffs in behavioral policies, and computational efficiency in decision processes. Key trends include mathematical modeling of risk/return paradigms and experimental validation of heuristic decision-making.
