Danae is a behavioural economist using experiments to explore how risk, time and concern for other people shape individuals’ decisions, morality and the value they attribute to life and health. Her work sheds light on fundamental aspects of the nature of these preferences, whilst informing policy appraisal and evaluation procedures such as the estimation of the societal value of preventing fatalities and illness or injuries.
