Thomas de Haan

Thomas de Haan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Bergen. His research focuses on behavioral economics, experimental economics, and microeconomic theory, with a particular emphasis on fairness, decision-making, and belief elicitation. He collaborates on developing tools for belief distribution elicitation, such as the Click-and-Drag interface. His work bridges theoretical models with empirical experiments to understand economic behavior in contexts like labor markets, trust dynamics, and strategic communication.

Research Interests: De Haan investigates topics such as fairness preferences under information constraints, labor market discrimination, and the impact of framing effects on economic decisions. His experimental methodologies explore how individuals process information and make choices in controlled environments.

Articles: His publications analyze themes like Bayesian meritocracy, belief elicitation interfaces, and default bias reinforcement. His recent work examines how limited information shapes fairness perceptions and explores labor market dynamics influenced by worker competition.

Projects: Current projects include studies on unemployment compensation preferences, adversarial anchoring in bargaining, and belief distribution elicitation techniques. He also collaborates on projects involving longevity beliefs and high-school mathematics exam trends.

Grants/Advising: While no specific grants or advisees are listed, his projects suggest involvement in collaborative research initiatives funded by academic or institutional grants.
