We are testing a new system for linking grants to scientists.
The funding information displayed below comes from the
NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools and the
NSF Award Database.
The grant data on this page is limited to grants awarded in the United States and is thus partial. It can nonetheless be used to understand how funding patterns influence mentorship networks and vice-versa, which has deep implications on how research is done.

Patterns of Decision Making and Macrophenomena With Empirical Tests From Financial Markets
This proposal develops an approach for extending what is known about individual deviations from rationality to aid in understanding the behavior of financial markets. The project therefore will help to provide a bridge from research conducted with individuals in laboratory settings to real- world macro-phenomenon based on the behavior of markets. Financial markets are important and have been extensively studied from an institutional perspective, but very few researchers have taken the perspective of the individual and examined the extent to which deviations from rational, expected-utility behavior among individuals might affect the aggregate behavior of markets. An extensive data set already is in hand and early work on investor behavior appears to support the initial hypotheses of the investigators. The researchers are excellent and they have extensive experience on topics related to the focus of this proposal. Results of the project should be of interest to behavioral decision theorists, psychologists, and economists.

Herd Behavior: Microfoundations, and Evidence From Decisionmaking by Firms and About the Global Environment
This proposal addresses the tendency of decision makers to incline their actions toward some group norm. Both rational and behavioral explanations will be evaluated. In the personal payoffs case, herding may be a rational result of gaining information from others in like circumstances, or as a means of protection from other imperfectly informed participants with whom the action must deal (e.g., a firm concerned about lending banks). Concerns about regret, magnified for outlier actions, may encourage herding. In the externalities case, herding may be an attempt to avoid the costs (self-perceived or externally imposed) of not meeting group norms (e.g., on curtailing emissions to prevent global warming.) Thus explicit agreements may substantially raise group norms, and may gain adherents even though the rational perscription is to free-ride. The proposed research will explore the roles of uncertainty and of the actor's perception of whether his decision is pivotal in securing agreement by others.
