Christoph Drobner

I am a microeconomist specializing in behavioral and experimental economics. My research focuses on understanding how individuals form beliefs in decision-relevant settings. Using laboratory, online, and field experiments, I examine how beliefs are shaped by information, incentives, and the ego relevance of underlying events. My work highlights the role of motivated beliefs in decision-making, showing that people often favor information that aligns with their self-image or justifies their actions. In addition, I pursue projects that contribute methodologically to the field of experimental economics.
