Research Centers

Research areas of particular strength within the department include: behavioral decision theory, experimental political science and economics, evolutionary and biological theories applied to economics and political science, organization ecology, and political economy. As this list indicates, members of the department stress the development of theories of social phenomena that do not always fit neatly into traditional disciplinary boundaries. There is a complementary emphasis on empirical testing of theory, leading to a common concern with methodology. Much of the research in the department has important and direct public policy implications in areas such as technology and health policy.
