معرفی
Stefan Penczynski is Associate Professor in Economics at the School of Economics, University of East Anglia (UEA). He is a member of the Centre for Behavioural and Experimental Social Science and contributes to the Behavioral Economics research group. He also serves as the subject-area coordinator for Economics in UEA’s Vegan Studies Network, reflecting his interdisciplinary engagement.
His research lies at the intersection of behavioral and experimental economics, focusing on Behavioral Game Theory, Information Economics, Political Economy, and Development Economics. He investigates economic behaviors such as information disclosure, social learning, auction bidding, jury voting, and trust, using innovative experimental methods that incorporate natural language evaluation. He is particularly interested in how communication and framing affect decision-making in strategic contexts.
The recent trend in his publications (2023–2025) centers on game-theoretic modeling of real-world behaviors, including vaccination decisions, team reasoning, trust in institutions, and resource allocation. These works appear in high-quality journals such as Games and Economic Behavior, Experimental Economics, and Quantitative Economics, showcasing a strong methodological emphasis on experimental design and behavioral insights.
Stefan supervises PhD research in areas related to behavioral and experimental economics, with a focus on consumption decisions (e.g., nutrition) and the use of natural language in experiments. While no specific grants are detailed beyond a completed project with the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office (2017–2019), his ongoing publication output suggests active research funding and collaboration.
He is affiliated with the Centre for Behavioural and Experimental Social Science (CBESS) at UEA, a hub for interdisciplinary experimental research. His work often involves collaboration with scholars across economics and behavioral science, contributing to a dynamic research environment focused on human decision-making in strategic and institutional contexts.
