Encouraging More Behavioral Public Finance Research<\/strong><\/h2>

I am working with Salvador Espinosa<\/a>\u00a0and Ken Kriz<\/a>\u00a0on efforts to encourage more behavioral public finance research.<\/p>

See our editor’s introduction<\/a> to a symposium issue of\u00a0Public Finance and Management\u00a0<\/em>on behavioral public finance.\u00a0<\/p>

At the 2018 Association for Budgeting and Financial Management (ABFM<\/a>) annual meeting we hosted a roundtable discussion intended to encourage multi-disciplinary scholarly research that combines theories, methods and empirical findings from psychology, behavioral public policy, and behavioral economics to address important questions in public finance. Just prior to the discussion, I made a brief presentation about verbal ‘Talk Aloud\u2019 or \u2018Think Aloud’ protocols and applications to research on decision making in public finance (see summary here<\/a>\u00a0and my presentation here<\/a>).<\/p>

We also guest edited a symposium on BEHAVIORAL PUBLIC FINANCE: NEW APPROACHES TO OLD QUESTIONS for Public Finance and Management<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

My Own Behavioral Public Finance Research<\/strong><\/h2>

My research using the behavioral public finance lens focuses primarily on willingness to pay, such as in the context of infrastructure for coastal resilience and transportation. <\/p>
