Holger Gerhardt is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Economics and Neuroscience and Department of Economics at the University of Bonn, where he also serves as Lab Manager of the BonnEconLab. He has been a Cluster member since 2022 and holds an appointment as an Associated Member. His research focuses on the behavioral foundations of decision-making, with specific expertise in time preferences, risk preferences, and the perceptual and emotional influences on decision processes. His work integrates experimental economics, behavioral economics, and neuroeconomics to understand the neural correlates of economic choices. Gerhardt's research employs both laboratory experiments and neuroscientific methods to investigate how cognitive and emotional factors shape economic decisions. His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward methodological innovation in experimental design, particularly in preference parameter estimation and understanding cognitive load effects on risk attitudes. His work spans multiple disciplines including economics, psychology, neuroscience, and cognitive science, with a particular emphasis on the intersection of these fields. As Lab Manager of the BonnEconLab, Gerhardt oversees experimental infrastructure and methodology. He has also developed experimental software frameworks like 'uproot' focused on performance, flexibility, and ease of use for economic experiments.
