Inga’s research interests focus on the interaction between the disciplines of behavioral economics and psychology, with special attention to the areas of organization plasticity and strategic adaptation in multi-dimensional dynamic environments. Her decision-making under risk research is focused on how people learn, form judgments, and make decisions that ultimately determine their economic outcomes. From the methodological standpoint, Inga combines behavioral, experimental and computational methods in her research. She has been an active member of the Center of Experimental Research in Management and Economics (CERME). Her collaboration with CERME involves focusing on the development, implementation, and analysis of laboratory and field experiments that aim to shed light on basic social, cognitive, and judgment processes that impact learning, adaptation, group decision-making and learning success in managerial contexts. Furthermore, Inga has assisted in coordinating the daily operations of the laboratory for the Center, advising CERME laboratory users on experiment design, running experiments, programming interface, analyzing and interpreting statistical data, maintaining and growing subject pools, both offline and online.
