    Expertise

    Malte Dold’s research interest lies at the intersection of economics, psychology and philosophy. More specifically, he is interested in the question of how social environments shape decision-making processes and what constitutes individual welfare when preferences change over time. He employs a combination of methods (experimental, philosophical, formal-mathematical and historical-contextual) in his work. This follows Elinor Ostrom’s maxim, which states that the use of multiple research methods is often the most powerful way to study complex social phenomena.
